Roto Parangarahu Community Planting Day
July 16, 2023 @ 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM NZST
Did you know there are two nationally significant and breath-taking lakes hidden in East Harbour Regional Park?
These lakes are particularly important to the surrounding environment and are home to native taonga. This includes a range of wetland plants, īnanga (galaxias maculatus), manu (birds), and our native freshwater mussel, the kākahi.
Join us for a day of planting mingimingi, ake ake, and other native species along the top of Cameron Ridge with spectacular views over Roto Kohangatera and the South Island. With Pencarrow Lighthouse and Roto Parangarahu nearby, you’ll enjoy a day planting and exploring this beautiful area of the park.
This planting day is suitable for people with a medium level of fitness as you will need to carry plants and dig holes. The area being planted is a short 20-minute walk from the bus up to the planting area. This is not suitable for children and recommended for 13 years and above. There will be a toilet provided during the planting. No dogs are allowed in this park. Register using link below.
