Keep NZ Beautiful - Clean Up Manukau - Saturday 18th September
Be a tidy Kiwi and Keep NZ Beautiful on our CleanUp Day at Ngati Otara Park. The biggest sports park in Otara is at the hub of a vibrant community and is well used for a wide range of sports and recreational activities. However, it also suffers from the accumulation of litter.
There have been successful clean-ups over the last few years, with an aim of educating people about the problems of litter, but also to get the community involved in caring for the environment.

Bring back the Birds to the Hunuas - Monday 4th to Friday 8th October
When Captain Cook arrived in New Zealand in 1769 he was overwhelmed by the deafening sounds of birds coming from the native forests. The exciting Hunua Habitat project aims to restore bird and wildlife in the Hunua Falls area at Hunua Ranges Regional Park so visitors can enjoy New Zealand’s beautiful bird song at its original intensity.
Join us on this restoration project to transform the Hunuas which will include checking bait lines in dense bush and track work and a wildlife survey. Accommodation is provided in the former Ranger`s House near the Mangatawhiri dam.
