Event details

Join us in learning te ao Māori approach to restoration!

Hands On Ecology workshop series is designed for community restoration groups and anyone keen to learn about restoration ecology through a te ao Māori lens. A 3-hour session offers practical skills for restoring private and public spaces, and may include up to 2 hours of walking—please dress appropriately and bring water/snacks.

This session covers:

  • Examining and working with oneone (soils) within the Kaipātiki area
  • Soil structure – dealing with slips and restoration on shifting ground
  • Plants that grow and support soils
  • Micro and macro diversity of soils and when to and when not to move them

If you’re part of a restoration or reserve group, please include the group’s name in the Organisation section.
