SUMMARY:Matariki Planting at Te Kōtuitanga
DESCRIPTION:Come along for a community planting along the Waitahurangi Awa at Te Kōtuitanga (Olympic Park)\, New Lynn. This year\, we celebrate Matariki through the theme Matariki herenga waka – a time to come together as a community\, honouring our shared connections to place\, people\, and the environment. \nAs we plant along the awa\, we reflect on Matariki as a time of renewal – remembering the past\, celebrating the present\, and preparing for the year ahead. Together\, we’ll contribute to a healthier stream and a more resilient neighbourhood. \nThe native plants we put into the ground will help stabilise stream banks\, slow water flow during heavy rain\, reduce flood impacts\, and provide habitat for native wildlife. \nAll ages are welcome; however\, children must be supported by an adult. Please wear sturdy closed-toe footwear\, ideally gumboots. \nMeet at EcoMatters Environment Trust\, 1 Olympic Place\, New Lynn. \nHosted by EcoMatters Environment Trust. For further info\, contact pamela@ecomatters.org.nz \nNgā mihi to Whau Local Board for their support.
