Volunteers at McLaren Falls Park
2026-04-08 12:00 - 16:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | McLaren Falls Park, Kaimais
The society looks after the trees at McLaren Falls Park.
Meetups:
Day: Wednesdays
Time: 12 noon – about 4pm
Place: McLaren Falls Park Information Centre
We meet at the Information centre at noon on Wednesdays with our packed lunches. After lunch and a discussion about what’s on for the afternoon we set to it. Usually no more than three hours in total. We bring our own tools, and plenty of cheerful enthusiasm. The afternoon will be cancelled if the weather looks guaranteed to be wet.
The nature of the work is forever changing and can include planting, identification & GPS plotting location, or nursery work with trees from early February to mid-December.
A volunteer doesn’t have to be knowledgeable about trees, or be a competent gardener, just to be willing to follow instructions. One of our current members has said she loves coming, not just because the park is such a lovely place, but because she learns something every week.
