Golden Bay, Rototai Reserve Tree Planting 2016

A huge thank you!

On Thursday the 18th of August, over 30 volunteers planted 650 trees at the beautiful Rototai reserve. We were here two years ago and it’s great to come back and revisit this beaufitul place.

We collaborated with 20 dedicated students from Takaka Primary, the Tasman District Council, and passionate locals who all came together to put the plants in the ground.

This is one in a series of tree planting activities we are running this winter as part of our nationwide Love your Water: Training Workshops and Tree Planting Tour.

Tasman District Council has been a huge help in our Golden Bay / Tasman leg of our tour, and we are very much hope to do it all again next year.

As part of the Golden Bay portion of the 2016 Love Your Water campaign we invite you to join us for a day of tree planting and weeding at Rototai Reserve on Thuresday 18 August 2016. We’re collaborating with the Tasman City Council who are lovingly overlooking the restoration of the Reserve and we want to help them give some love to this special place.

Simply meet at the Rototai Beach Esplanade Reserve covers a strip of land along the foreshore adjacent to the end of Nees Road, just northwest of the Motupipi River estuary. Come to the end of the road and look for our blue Sustainable Coastlines flags. We’ll be starting from 11.00am and finishing up around 2:00pm. You can stay for as little or as long as you like, but afterwards we’ll all come together for some food and refreshments courtesy of Phoenix Organics Drinks.

Volunteers, corporate groups and schools are all welcome to come along and get your hands dirty, give some love to previous plantings, and plant new native trees to help the regeneration of Rototai Beach Esplanade Reserve.
