Green Dot Planting Days – September 2011

Preparation is underway to get ready for the next wave of Green Dot planting days. Sites have been identified and prepared, with plants being ordered. Watch this space for more details on how you can get involved in the “Plantout weekend”.

June 8 Celebration

Celebrate the beginnings of our Canterbury Greenway!  Mark your calendars for Wed, June 8th, 6-8pm at the YFC (Young Farmers Club)  Memorial Hall, Lincoln.

Come join us for a special meeting of Te Ara Kakariki / Greenway Canterbury to celebrate the achievements of the Trust and our ‘Greendot’ project over the past few years. 

We will have guest speakers, wine and nibbles, and slides of the 10 green dot sites we have help plant to begin our greenway. This will be a chance to celebrate our accomplishments and catch up with what has been going on, meet with other TAK members and discuss our bright (green) future!!

RSVPs would be appreciated to help us cater for numbers, to Helen Chambers helen.trevor@clear.net.nz

Management Committee meetings

This enthusiastic bunch meet approximately every 8 weeks to keep TAK moving forward positively. Meetings are held at the Copthorne Durham and Central Hotels in their great conference rooms as part of their support for TAK. Anyone is welcome and there’s no pressure to do anything – but there’s always plenty to do. If you have some skills to offer or just a shot of enthusiasm contact the Greenway Canterbury coordinator office@kakariki.org.nz to work out best how to get involved
