The pioneer planting at Paremata has been completed with 21400 pioneer trees in the ground in 18 planting days through the efforts of 294 planters who gave 1238 volunteer hours a fantastic effort and a special thanks to those planters who came multiple times to plant and that dedicated group who came to every planting, a very special thanks as it was their efforts that resulted in completing the pioneer planting in such quick time.
Planting will now continue along Maori Pa Rd esplanade reserve, on behalf of NCC we will infill and plant a couple of areas requested by Council, this will enhance the corridor between Paremata and Uri, once again your volunteer help will be appreciated.
Planting will be every Sat, Sun Tues and Thurs from 8am till 4 pm, look out for my white Toyota truck, planting will start in the flood paddock which is the first paddock past Paremata.
Once this is finished we will return to plant some canopy trees at Paremata, getting close to the end of what has been an amazing planting journey.
