get involved
WE NEED YOU!
nURSERY SESSIONS
The nursery is open every Thursdays from 9am to 12pm in summer and 1-3pm in winter, with well earned Christmas and mid winter breaks.
Just bring some clean gardening gloves and a dust mask if you have one.
No experience is necessary.
During these sessions we seed sow, prick out, pot up and weed. There are often additional projects like maintenance of our structures. There are activities for all abilities and experience so come join us.
A cuppa , some baking and lots of chat is provided at every session.
Planting, maintenance & working with partner groups
All our fabulous plants have to go somewhere!
Would you like to be involved in planting days, either on our own restoration projects or to offer help to our partner community groups. Planting season tends to be autumn to late spring.
Planting maintenance involves freeing our natives from the faster growing, smothering tendencies of exotic weeds. These sessions can happen a couple of times a year until the plants are established.
summer watering roster
Our experimental planting at Korimako corner needs a bit of an extra hand over the hot dry months.
Helping in this area gives you the freedom to assist when it suits you as there is no timetable here. Ideally it would be once a week and there are always standby's to assist if you can't make it.
Planting zones are assigned, then it is just a case of turning on the tap and dragging the hose around.
What could be more pleasant on a warm summers evening!
corporate volunteering
Are you part of a business or an organisation that wants to give something back to your community? Perhaps a team building exercise....
We have opportunities for you and your team to volunteer on a half day or full day basis.
Governance
Do you have skills that the trust could use? Would you like to know more about becoming a trustee?
Let us know.
Getting involved is not all work and no play
By becoming active in our organisation opportunities open up for participating in all sorts of other things, including field trips and science collaborations.
Not quite from our area but are interested in the work we do. We have 'sister' organisations in the greater region that would love to see you.
