On Saturday 8th May, around 500 volunteers banded
together to clean up South Auckland’s waterways.
Te
Puhinui Big Clean was originally planned to clean up the
Puhinui Stream, a 12-kilometre waterway from Totara Park to
the Manukau Harbour. But due to the large number of
volunteers, the clean-up effort was extended to include the
Otara Creek and Papakura Stream as well.
The clean-up
was organised by the Beautification Trust, an organisation
dedicated to protecting and improving the environment in
South Auckland.
“We were absolutely thrilled with
the commitment of the local community and their collective
impact,” says Beautification Trust CEO, Daniel Barthow.
