Green Drinks: Reforesting the Whakatipu

We’re starting the year with a bang and heading outdoors. Partnering with our friends at Whakatipu Reforestation Trust, we are going to do our part in: Reforesting the Whakatipu.

Thursday 20th February from 6.30 to 8.30pm — we’ll meet at the Whakatipu Reforestation Trust Nursery at Jardine Park, Kelvin Heights for an evening dedicated to returning native trees to the Whakatipu Basin.

The team at the Trust will tell us all about their programmes before we roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty with a bit of mahi to help out the project. We’ll get around the planting table to pot up native seedlings, ready to be planted around Tāhuna. 

It wouldn’t be Green Drinks without a drink or two and some social time, so…

 Our friends at Canyon Brewing will provide ice cold Canyon Gold beer for the event, plus non-alcoholic options!

 McKibbon’s of Royalburn are kindly providing food for a communal BBQ, including vegetarian and vegan options.

It’s going to be an awesome night of learning about and helping with local conservation, sipping on some locally made beers, dining on some delicious food and connecting with the community in the way that only Green Drinks can. Green Drinks is back — we’ll see you there.

Grab a $10 ticket, which includes your drink & food!

Transport: Check out the discussion over in the Facebook event for information on carpool, bikepool and water taxi options.
