GWRC

Join us for a day of planting 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 warm. This site can be
