Event Cancelled!

Thanks for your interest in attending! As you’ll be aware, due to the current Covid-19 restrictions placed on Auckland, our staff cannot travel to Christchurch, meaning this planting is cancelled. If you’ve already registered, we’ll send you an email to update you we have cancelled the planting. We’ll also update our events page and social channels with new announcements.

We need nature and nature needs us, so we’re looking forward to seeing you at our next event!

Sturdy, closed-toe shoes that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy. This is critical for Health & Safety considerations.

Warm and waterproof clothes. At least one warm top layer and a rain jacket.

Sun hat and sunscreen.

Reusable water bottle (filled up and ready to go)

Bring a camera (optional). We would love to see your event photos! Use the tag #loveyourwater and @sustainablecoastlines on social media
