Planting day at the Castledowns Wetland, Dipton

31 October 2021

Starting at 1.30pm, it is that time of year for planting trees in our Wetland. We have spots sprayed and will have 140 trees to plant. We are hoping that we will have plenty of helpers to get the trees into their spots to start growing.

We welcome anyone who would like to come and help to make this a fun day. Please bring your spade to plant, food, and afternoon tea, but if you would just like to join us we would love to see you there.

Go to Dipton, go over the Oreti Bridge at Dipton and take the 2nd turn left on to the Dipton Mossburn road and go 13 km and we are on the right after the road crosses the Dipton Stream on a new Bailey bridge at 900 Dipton Mossburn road

These days are weather dependant as we can not cross the stream if there is heavy rain. If in doubt please ring Ann 027 656 9319
