Planting season is in full swing! We had the final Kohanga planting and we also finished off the lower exclosure and area between the exclosures!

The weather played ball and the WORD turnout in the afternoon was impressive (and also productive). Those WORD kids have a lot of energy!

Planting schedule

Come along and help us restore Makara Peak into a thriving native forest. It’s a great way to give back to the park.

Check out the dates below. We’ve already had a couple of successful sessions with work done in the Kohanga.

You just need to bring a sturdy pair of gloves. We provide the tools and snacks.
