Puriri
Puriri and titoki are key large trees in rare Auckland lava rock forests.

In 2018 and 2019, we planted the ephemeral wetland at the Treeway’s southern end. In 2020 we will enhance our rare Auckland lava rock forest*.

Come along, with family and friends, for a couple of hours of planting and help improve the biodiversity of the area.
