Founders Plantation Picnic, Saturday 4 May 11am - 2pm. Waimea Stream Reserve, Pembroke St, New Plymouth
New Plymouth Central Lions are hosting a family picnic and BBQ at the Founders Plantation.
The almost 2000 trees were planted in 1991 in a project organised by the Merrilands Lions Club (which no longer operates) to commemorate 150 years since the establishment of the colonial settlement of New Plymouth at Ngāmotu by surveyor Frederick Carrington in 1841.
Come and see the splendid Kauri, Kahikatea and Totaras after 30 years of development. Many families, businesses and groups were involved; the names are on the steel drums!
