Hey, it’s Waitangi Weekend. We’ve changed our traditional Second Sunday Weeders weeding day this month to the third Sunday. Check it out here.

Group: Pest Free Pt Chevalier

Second Sunday Weeders are expanding their roster of locations this month with an inaugural visit to Western Springs College. Some of the teachers and students have worked hard over the years to control weeds and expand the native plantings, but sometimes it just gets too much. Contractors will be removing most of the blue morning glory but there is still lots of opportunities to release streamside sedges from smothering vines.

Let’s stop them in their tracks. Controlling weeds gives our regenerating ngahere a chance to thrive, providing quality habitat for our native species. And don’t worry if you don’t know your weeds, we have plenty of experts to give guidance.

• Meet at the southern end of the Western Springs College car park at 134 Motions Rd; look for the Urban Ark flag
• Bring your favourite gardening gloves and secatuers if you have them, but we’ll also have spare gear you can borrow.Long trouse
• Long trousers and long-sleeved shirts are recommended for this one.
• If you don’t have two hours to spare, just drop in for as long as you can manage.

Sometimes there is cake, often there is good chat, and always there are weeds to pull.
