Battle For the Banded Rail – Spring Plant Care Mornings

Plant care volunteers

Join us for plant care mornings around the Waimea Inlet. It’s a great chance to revisit some of the Battle for the Banded Rail planting sites, meet other like minded plant people – and have a cuppa and a chat at the Sunday events!

An vital part of successful restoration is caring for our plants after hard planting work’s done!
