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.
