Weeding bee/site prep at Francis Reserve

Wednesday 15 April 2026, 2:00pm - 4:00pm

Building on the success of Wellpark Reserve, Urban Ark - Manawa Taiao and the locals are keen to turn attention to planting out the bottom end of Francis Reserve. All we need now is community muscle to help clear some pest plants to make room for natives at the site, so please join us! It’s a great chance to connect with your neighbours and other locals. Refreshments provided when the mahi is done!

Please Register here if you plan to attend so we can plan how much gear and catering to bring.

Bring: Sturdy footwear, water bottle.

Priovded: Urban Ark provide guidance, gloves and tools … but feel free to bring your own gear if preferred.

Meet: By the playground

If you’re keen to help with the June planting event check out the details here.
