Join us for a day of planting mingimingi, ake ake, and other native species at these nationally significant lakes. The Parangarahu Lakes are 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. This planting day is perfect for those who enjoy a bit of physical activity, as you’ll be carrying plants and digging holes. What to bring/wear:• Sturdy boots or gumboots• Long sleeves and pants, and a waterproof jacket are essential. Layering and wearing a hat or beanie is a good way to stay
