Northcote's new greenway runs through the heart of the town, following the newly daylighted Te Ara Awataha stream and connecting a number of local reserves with each other, and with the community.
As the ecosystems grow and mature along the newly established greenway, expert ecologists from Kaipātiki Project will be monitoring the stream and surrounding bush, and actively regenerating the native flora and fauna.
We’re calling on the community to join us in this endeavour, to regenerate this new, nature-based community space. Join us “behind the scenes” and see what it takes to get new ecosystems thriving!
This is a great opportunity to connect with the community and nature and to become a highly knowledgeable, seasoned hand at native bush regeneration.
NB: No volunteering on 4th May 2024

Te Ara Awataha celebration day
10am-2pm - no booking required
Let's celebrate together! It’s taken a huge team effort from many partner organisations, mana whenua, and others in the community, including volunteers, to help shape this amazing location, and we’d love to celebrate this with you!
Bring the family for a free, fun community event. Wander along the stream, visit the network of parks, and pop into the town centre. There will be many activities and awesome entertainment.
Our Zero Waste Activator will be there.
