Mai FM Matariki Community Day

Celebrate Matariki with Mai FM, Auckland Zoo, and EcoMatters at our Mai Matariki Community Day.

Groups will be starting from the EcoHub at 10am, 11am, 12pm and 1pm for a full stream restoration experience - planting, mulching, water quality testing and a rongoā Māori (Māori plant medicine) guided walk. Limited to 50 people per group - first in, first served.

There’ll be heaps going down on the day to get the whole whānau involved – from Auckland Zoo giveaways, to harakeke (flax) weaving, and free kai from a food truck.

Gumboots or sturdy closed-toe shoes are essential. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and bring a rain jacket, water bottle, and gardening gloves if you have any.

Parking is limited – please bike, walk, or catch public transport (only an 8-minute walk from New Lynn Transport Hub).

Kids are welcome but must be accompanied by a supervising adult.

This event has been made possible with tautoko and awhi from Auckland Council Parks, Auckland Museum, Rongoā Mauri and Whau Local Board.
