Fighting weeds in Kerikeri Basin

We are looking for team-members weeding in the Kerikeri River Scenic Reserve to enhance native forest regeneration. Weeds include jasmine, moth plant, climbing asparagus, Japanese honeysuckle, banana passion-fruit, Taiwan cherry, tobacco weed, loquat, monkey apple, kahili ginger, wandering jew, and African club moss, all of which threaten the next generation of forest plants

Requirements

Knowledge of native plants is useful but not essential. A reasonable level of fitness is required for the walk into the site, which has some steep slopes, and for carrying out the bagged-up weeds to our composting bag near the Kerikeri DOC office.

Time commitment

The group meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month from 9am to 12 noon.

Getting Started

The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
