Helping Sanctuary to Sea project

The Trelissick Park Group held a working bee at 57 Kaiwharawhara Road on 12 February.

The working bee is a contribution to Zealandia’s Sanctuary to Sea project and involved digging out and clearing weeds from around the plantings and removing rubbish.

Initially The Living Room had offered to clean up the site on 10 March, but has had to postpone its involvement until later in the year.

So the Trelissick Park Group stepped up.

The site at 57 Kaiwharawhara Road is between The Living Room and Hanging Around.

It is owned by Wellington Water. In 2016 Wellington Water agreed, via Wellington City Council (WCC), for the Trelissick Park Group to restore the area.

WCC did some initial weed-tree removal then the Trelissick Park Group had several sessions, mostly with Conservation Volunteers, to clear weeds and rubbish, apply mulch then plant.
