Centennial Park Bush Society was formed in the 1970s to promote the restoration of a scrub valley in Centennial Park, Campbells Bay, North Shore City. We hold regular work days on Wednesday mornings and one weekend day per month approx. If you wish to be on our email list for work day notifications please email us.
We also have opportunities for volunteers to work in conjunction with one of our older volunteers for a few hours each week on days other than our regular days
There are numerous projects ongoing in the catchment including
- removal of serious weed trees eg Acmena smithii monkey apple
- weed removal and replacement areas eg Aberdeen Track, wetland area, 16th tee
- gradual pine reduction in the main bush area and replanting
- Park Rise bush restoration
- Campbells Bay Reserve streamside weed removal and planting
- All Hallows Church bush weed removal
- Kowhai Rd restoration area (above golf club workshops
What to bring: For planting days, bring a spade, gloves, a bucket, barrow maybe and something to cart mulch in. For weeding days, secateurs or loppers, a small hand saw, gloves and plenty of energy.
