Join us at 3 Mile Creek, Waihī Beach for another awesome Coast Care working bee with our restoration coordinator, Sheanna.
Bring your friends and family and help us protect and restore our precious sand dunes by planting a mixture of mid-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: 3 Mile Creek, opposite 98 Seaforth Road
📅 Date: Sunday 17 August 2025
⏲️ Time: 10am to 12pm
🟦 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 and the postponement date will be 24 August 2025.
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.
