EARTH DAY AUCKLAND CITY


Earth Day on 22 April is a world wide campaign to do our individual part
to help the planet.

See
www.earthday.net



Urban forests in our parks help clean the air, add pleasure and beauty
and bring life and health to the city. As green space declines and cars
take more space our parks are under threat. Take part in the following
weeding activities to release native plants and also learn more about
our parks.

Come for as long as you like and wear gloves, boots and bring a cutting
gardening tool such as a knife, spade or secaturs.
