The Wakatipu Reforestation Trust's mission is to grow native plants at its Jean Malpas Community Nursery and to use these plants to plant in public areas to enhance biodiversity in the Wakatipu Basin.
Volunteers help to grow native plants by potting up seedlings, weeding pots and maintaining a tidy nursery on Wednesday mornings. There is also the opportunity to assist in planting days in Spring and Autumn at public places all around the Wakatipu basin.
Volunteers are needed to do scrub bar / weed eating around smaller native plants to keep them weed free, and ensure they get plenty of light and rain while becoming established.
