Kaimai Views Walkway Clean Up
2022-09-24 11:00 - 13:00 | Kaimai Views,, Ōmokoroa, Tauranga, 3114
Team up with your local neighbours and let’s get the area looking beautiful for all to enjoy!
It’s going to be great to have the walking track that is set to connect the subdivision to new developments in the next few years. We’re also so lucky that wildlife like to frequent the waterway and shelter amongst the bushes along side it. With rubbish being blown down from nearby building sites and being washed through the storm drain system, it’s overdue a good tidy up to minimise what ends up in the sea.
We’ll be working our way alongside the walking track from Traverse Lane to Kauri Lane and back up to Sentinel Ave. It’s not a small task but we’re looking forward to coming together to showing what small communities can achieve!
Looking forward to seeing you there! Keep an eye out on the Ōmokoroa Community Facebook page for updates closer to the day.

The Stitch Kitchen team will be on site to help repair or re-purpose clothes for those who wish to do so. It’s all taking place on the grounds of our Valley Project.
There will be children’s entertainment as well as presentations by Enviro-schools on waste minimisation and repurposing, food for volunteers and the public provided by the wonderful community-minded Dunedin Bowling Club and much more!
