This year, the Albert Eden Local Board offered to fund the restoration of a site in lower Meola near the Moa Reserve in Point Chevalier. STEPS successfully applied for the funding, and will be working with a team run by Katherine Read of Wai Care, including Te Ngahere and local people, to carry out the planting and weed control.
Initially, we have arranged for a joint planting day, and are hoping for a good turnout of STEPS members and supporters to support this initiative downstream from our usual area of focus.
The details are below – hope to see you there
PLANTING DAY DETAILS
There will be a lower Meola Planting day on the slopes of MOTAT opposite Moa Reserve on Saturday 20 July from 10:30am onward.
Where: MOTAT – Main entrance off Meola Road. You can park in the MOTAT carpark and request access from the staff in the hanger if no Wai Care co-ordinator is present at the time of your arrival. Follow the signage to the planting site. See map:
Planting Location 20.07.13
What to bring: Gumboots, old clothes and wet weather gear, gloves, a water bottle and a spade if you have one!
Please feel free to pass this on to anyone who may be interested…..

Colleen Foster has kindly woven a tukutuku panel for STEPS, taking all her materials from the Roy Clements Treeway.
Following her active participation in our recent Ahurangi Festival, Colleen is now displaying the completed panel at the Mt Albert Library for 1 month during Matariki (22 June – 22 July).
For details on time, see “Mt Albert” at the following link:

Please feel free to visit Colleen at the library for an informed explanation by a wonderful local kuia. STEPS is delighted to support her and participate in Matariki.
We are grateful to Colleen for taking the time to produce such a beautiful item, and extended a formal appreciation at our recent AGM.
