Te Rere Planting Day
The Annual Te Rere Planting Day is organised by Southland Forest & Bird. As a remote coastal site the working days are long (setting off from Feldwick Gates Invercargill at 8.30am sharp, meeting others at Progress Valley Road, and getting back around 6pm). You will require a good level of fitness and warm clothing, wet weather gear and sturdy boots and gloves if you need them. We will undertake planting and plant maintenance. Some spades are provided but bring your own if you have one and all other personal equipment, first aid kit and food and water. We will also do a guided walk through the reserve and hopefully see penguins and the impressive Catlins coastline.
Bookings are essential. Email [Enable JavaScript to view protected content] to register. Free transport is available from Invercargill – but sorry if you haven’t booked you cant just come along.
