We are an organisation of mainly volunteers that are working to restore, educate and advocate for our unique dryland plant species of Central Otago and the special creatures that depend upon them.
WHAT IS COMING UP
EVERY THURSDAY FROM 9am to 12pm
(or any part thereof)
New volunteers most welcome and no experience necessary
BRING YOUR ENTHUSIASM, WILLINGNESS TO LEARN AND YOUR FAVOURITE GARDENING GLOVES
WE CAN SUPPLY TRAINING, GREAT COMPANY AND AFTERNOON TEA!
Contact nursery@haehaeata.org.nz for further information if needed
Monday the 22nd of December from 6pm to 7:30pm.
Whether it is a spot of guard removing, weed pulling or grass slashing is still to be determined but save this date and more info will follow closer to the time.
We have already been to Flat Top Hill Conservation area and to the Half Mile Reserve perhaps it might be Korimako corner for something a bit different. We will have to see where the need is most urgent.
There will be post session refreshments and for those keen we can have a walk around of the rest of the site.
Big thanks to everyone who has turned up so far.
Want to support a planting but can't be there yourself?
We have just developed a gifting system where you can buy a plant for a special someone in your life or to support a local native planting project that uses our eco sourced plants. These plants will be planted at the next planting date after your order by a community group. These plantings are on public land so can be visited any time.
By completing the form and making payment we will email out a gift card to your recipient outlining what project is being supported and how many trees have been gifted.
Please feel free to tell anyone and everyone about this initiative and help improve Central Otago's biodiversity and support local community groups.

Please support them when you can
Haehaeata is extremely grateful to Sir Sam Neill for his remarkable generosity. In our first iteration of our "Friends Pie" Sir Sam's company, Two Paddocks owned two segments of the pie for the first three years.
In addition, in his own name, Sam Neill has for each of those three years, donated $8,000 - a total of $24,000. That money has been held separately to invest thus far, into projects such as the Korimako Corner along with the nursery extensions and assets.
A 'mostly' monthly email with local plant profile, upcoming events and what we have been doing amongst other things.
We rely on generous donations from the public, sponsorship and grants to ensure our nursery can eco source and propagate native plants along with providing a hub for community involvement and learning. The projects we are involved in will ultimately create areas of native bush providing homes for our native wildlife.
