Little Oneroa is continuing to grow greener 🌱

Thanks to the incredible ongoing mahi of the Kaitiaki of Newton Reserve volunteer group, more native plants are going into the ground as restoration work continues across Newton Reserve. Their dedication is helping create a healthier habitat for wildlife and a greener space for the whole community to enjoy.

This is a fantastic example of community-led environmental action in Little Oneroa, supported by the local board through ongoing funding and support for restoration projects across Waiheke.🌱
