Friends of Oratau Reserve Volunteer Morning

Friends of Oratau Reserve is a group lead by local residents Pete & Garth, supported by our faciliator Gary. This friendly team started to care for this reserve in February 2019. Oratau Reserve runs from Orchard reserve, off Almond Grove & out to Lucas Creek. It is an important stream outlet and bird corridor. Friends of Oratau Reserve carryout restoration work (removing pest plants, pest animal control & planting natives). They meet every Wednesday at 9.30 am at the end of Oratau Place, one of the entrances to the reserve. Activities that you can be involved with: • Rescuing native plants from weeds • Preparing sites for native plantings • Planting native plants No conservation skills/experience is required - just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Whether you're an individual, a family, or a group of friends, everyone is welcome to lend a helping hand. Join us. Come, get fit, care for our environment, and make some new friends. Together we can make a difference. Morning tea is provided, but please bring a cold drink, if required. In the event of bad weather, a note will be placed on the Greenhithe Community Trust Ecology Facebook page and an email to those who have registered. We also have opportunities to help out during the week. Search for our Wainoni Park, Outlook Reserve & Taihinui Historical Reserve groups. The Friends of Oratau Reserve is a Greenhithe Community Trust initiative and is supported by the Upper Harbour Local Board, and Auckland Council.
