Friends of Waiwhetū help clean-up stream
A shopping trolley, a scooter and 36 bags of rubbish were retrieved from
the Waiwhetū Stream during a recent clean-up.
Organisers Phillip Zhou and Henry Steele of the Friends of Waiwhetū were pleased with the result of 36 bags and numerous large items. With 10 tyres, a shopping trolley, scooter, and one road sign being among the more unusual items, it is satisfying to remove such unsightly objects from the beautiful stream.
Usually carried out every three to four years, the committee is considering organising a more frequent stream cleans..

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
