HELPERS WANTED: Esther Dijkstra, Mangatarere Restoration Society spokeswoman, is seeking helpers for a Mangatarere Restoration Society planting day at Kendall Farm tomorrow.
A free barbecue meal is on offer for helpers at a Mangatarere Restoration Society planting day being held on a Carterton farm tomorrow.
Esther Dijkstra, Mangatarere Restoration Society spokeswoman, said the planting day would be held on the farm of Jeremy Daysh and Anna Bergstrom from 1pm to 4pm, followedby a barbecue meal to cap work for the day.
Greater Wellington Regional Council were partnering the work at the couple's property, known as Kendall Farm, which is located on Haring Rd between Fensham Reserve and the Mangatarere Stream.
"This planting will help to provide a wildlife corridor between the Mangatarere Stream, Fensham Reserve and the Tararua Forest Park," Ms Djikstra said.
All able-bodied helpers were welcome to help with the planting, she said.
The work would be made easier since "all the digging will have been done already by contractors".
"The vision for the Mangatarere Restoration Society is to Reclothe Our Stream and we are organising a number of planting days to celebrate this vision," she said.
Kendall Farm is on Haring Rd and has a signposted Fonterra supply number of 46481.
