Tree Planting Day at Woodall Park Pump Track
Sunday 29th Sep
9 am to 12 midday.
Please join this community event to plant trees and make a positive impact on the surrounds of the pump track.
Brett Garea from BGE Environments has kindly donated plants for us to plant on the day. Devonport Rotary will also supply plants purchased from our very own local RTH Native Plant Nursery. These plants are required to fill a few gaps and help stabilise the sides of the jumps.
Make it a family day! We encourage you to bring along your children so that they can plant their very own trees in this popular community space.
Please bring along your spades for digging and gardening gear such as rakes, weed eaters and clippers to trim the weeds and groom the track.
There will be some vouchers for a free coffee at Narrow Neck Beach Cafe after the planting.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
