2005 Community Arbor Day Planting
The Green Corridors Group organised a Community Arbor Day Planting at Ngahere Park Esplanade Reserve, Turitea Road, Palmerston North (approximately 3.5 kilometres from the intersection of Turitea Road and Old West Road) on Sunday 12 June at 10.30am. Anybody who wanted to plant a native tree within the Turitea Stream Green Corridor was welcome to come along and participate. Members of the Green Corridors group were on hand to discuss the re-vegetation project and answer any questions people had.
