About the event
Puhoi River Walk Planting Day
Join us for a hands-on day restoring and enhancing the Puhoi River Walk. We’ll be planting around 700–800 sedges and grasses along a 130-metre edge strip just below our most recent site. Species like Carex virgata, oioi, and Cyperus ustulatus, with a scattering of tī kōuka, have been carefully chosen for their role in creating ideal īnanga spawning habitat. These plants are not only vital for native fish but are also perfectly adapted to withstand high river flows—bending with the current rather than blocking it.
Bring your energy, gloves, and gumboots, and help us create a healthier river ecosystem for generations to come.
Stay on and enjoy a hot drink and sausage sizzle.
