If you're keen to do some digging for conservation, the Clifton County Cricket Club has just the opportunity.
The club will be hosting a community planting day on Sunday, July 24 in partnership with the Hawke's Bay's Cape to City project. Spot prizes, a barbecue, and light refreshments will be provided for volunteers.
The planting of native shrubs and trees begins at 10am. at the cricket club's pavilion, near Te Awanga.
There will be 1300 plants at this event representing about 20 different restoration species, including flax, kowhai, and cabbage trees.
The wetland and riparian master plan for the cricket club was designed by William Murphy, director of the Clifton-based Pollen Workshop Landscape Architecture and Design.
