Join us at Tirohanga Beach, Ōpōtiki for another awesome Coast Care working bee.

Bring your friends and family and help us protect and restore our precious sand dunes. Led by your local Coast Care restoration coordinator, Amy, we'll be planting dune plants.

Dune planting is easy and good fun with like-minded people, so come along and ‘dig’ in (if you’re bringing littles ones, please ensure you’re ready and able to help them).


📍 Where: Meet at the main entrance to the Tirohanga Beach Holiday Park and follow directions for parking.
Planting will be at the beach access intersecting the Dunes Trail in front of the campground (look out for the Coast Care flags).
📅 Date: Sunday 13 July 2025
⏲️ Time: 1.00pm to 2.30pm
🟦 What you need to bring:
* Gardening gloves (we will have some on hand, but you may prefer to bring your own)
* Sturdy, covered walking shoes/boots (no jandals or bare feet please)
* Sunhat, water and a raincoat (just in case).
☔ Please keep an eye on the weather forecasts. If MetService issues a red weather warning, this event will be cancelled.


This is part of a regular programme of planting events to help restore our precious sand dunes – the backbone of our beaches and the first line of defence against coastal storm surge.
