Witheford Reserve Working Bee – 7 May 2024

Led by an expert ecologist, we’re establishing a new volunteer group to regenerate this special reserve and positively impact the environment. Over 25 years ago, passionate community members initiated restoration activities within this tranquil haven, laying the groundwork for what would later evolve into Kaipātiki Project.

Witheford Scenic Reserve includes lowland forest, a Waitematā sandstone stream, tidal saltmarsh and coastal cliffs. In some parts of the reserve there are remnant native trees (kahikatia, totara and kowhai) that survived early clearing and milling during European settlement. Along the coastal edge of this and adjoining reserves is Kaipatiki Creek, turangawaewae (home habitat) to endangered nativ

Booking for this event is essential, as spaces are limited for health and safety reasons.

Please ensure that you individually register every person intending to join on the day.
