Hello all!

Autumn is here and it marks the beginning of our planting season, and
this is going to be a good one.  On Sunday 8 May we have a working bee, followed by a social event for our friends and supporters. 
The Plan for the day is:

Exactly one year after 350 Wellington planted 350 plants at Manawa Karioi, Jason and Willemijn organised another planting in this magical place. The volunteers at 350 were invited to come along to and it was a great opportunity for those who helped last year to see how the plants that they helped planting were doing. With a group of 12 people we planted around 100 kanuka, fivefinger and one totora and some more other native plants, and took a few photos.

 
Members of the World March for Peace and Nonviolence planted native trees in the Manawa Karioi Ecological Restoration Project (Island Bay, Wellington) yesterday and gave a sizeable donation to support the reserve. The event was one of many being organised around the world by the World March to promote personal and collective responsibility to offset and reduce our carbon footprint in order to halt and reverse Climate Change.

An enthusiastic group of volunteers gathered at Manawa Karioi on Sunday, 2 August, to raise awareness of Climate Change.

The hillsides above the Manawa Karioi Spring are a very visible area of our project, and it is here that we face a big challenge from environmental weeds, Japanese honeysuckle and Old Man’s Beard in particular. Regrowth by blackberry is also a problem.
