Location: 528 Whitemans Valley Road, Whitemans Valley, Upper Hutt

Come and join us for one of our favourite days of the year as we plant native trees and restore ecosystems in the Valley.

This year we’ll be planting a special area on the Farm, helping create healthier waterways, richer biodiversity, and a more resilient landscape for future generations. Whether you’ve planted one tree or one thousand, everyone is welcome.

We’ll be planting from 10:00am–3:00pm, followed by a Mangaroa Farms sausage sizzle and soup. If the weather is in our favour we’d also love to celebrate with you around the fire with music, yarns and maybe even some dancing.

WHAT TO BRING:

• BYO lunch and snacks (to see you through to 3pm)
• Water bottle
• Sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing (warm layers essential)
• If you have a spade, pocket knife and/or rubber mallet (for hitting in staples), feel free to bring those along

Whether you’re coming to give back, learn a few skills, meet good people, or simply spend a day outdoors, we’d love to have you with us.

Also a shout out to Greater Wellington for supplying the trees and Groundtruth for the planting plan.

Many hands make light work and every tree planted is an investment in the generations to come.

We will begin at Sat 15th August | 10:00am at 528 Whitemans Valley Road. More info will be sent closer to the time.

Any questions, please email events@mangaroa.org
