Protecting Our Rivers

21/10/2019 by Dave Evans

Working Together to Save Our Precious River Ecosystems

To restore our precious braided rivers we need to rid them of a range of weed species including Russell lupins, broom, gorse and briar. Please come to Arthur’s Pass to help a community weedbusting effort.

Facebook event

Saturday 9th — Tuesday 12th November 2019
Working bees will run each day from 9.30am — 12.00pm and 2.30pm — 5.00pm.

Where: Arthur’s Pass – meet at the Community Centre, School Road (past the old school and 4 houses along). You are welcome to come for as long or short a time as you like – from one working bee to four full days!

  • See and read a great summary of the project here.
