Join the Western ranger team at Kakamātua inlet for planting and plant site care on Thursday 17 July! 🌿

Kakamātua is a dog-friendly inlet, with a diverse convergence of ecosystems. There are planting sites on the back dunes ready for expansion planting, and stream bank plantings needing stakes.
Meet at the Kakamātua inlet car park at 9am. Rangers will provide morning tea on site, and you'll be done by 12.30pm💚

Bring water, and mucky clothes suitable for wind, hail and shine. Please also note that while any covered shoes are OK, gumboots are highly recommended for this site 😁
