The Kāpiti Repo Restoration Group is bringing a wetland in Queen Elizabeth Park back to life. Your mahi helps mitigate climate change and enhance local biodiversity by restoring part of the Kāpiti Coast's former 'Great Swamp' to a healthy, thriving repo. On the day, volunteers join in hands-on restoration activities such as planting native seedlings, weeding, and general site care, guided by the group's coordinator. It is relaxed, sociable, and works at a pace that suits everyone. Over time, volunteers build practical skills in native planting and habitat restoration, learn about local ecology, and connect with others who care about the Kāpiti Coast.
No experience necessary, guidance is given on the day. Reasonable fitness for outdoor, sometimes muddy, ground. Sturdy closed shoes and weather-appropriate clothing recommended. Open to all ages; younger volunteers are welcome alongside a parent or caregiver
Second Saturday of every month, 9.30am – 12.30pm
