Report from WCC
Over 100 City Council staff and local volunteers armed with gumboots and shovels today celebrated planting more than 2 million native plants around Wellington over the last 20 years.
This milestone is the result of a team effort from thousands of Wellingtonians committed to creating a greener city for future generations.
The celebratory planting event was held on a hillside in Erlestoke Reserve at Churton Park, with helpers on hand including Mayor Andy Foster. The Mayor says it was a special time to chat with some of the volunteers who make it all possible, and to reflect on the day and ponder what it means for the future.
