Battle Week
2024-04-07 08:00 - 2024-04-14 17:00
We’re calling on all aspiring citizen scientists of Aotearoa to take action against litter by participating in Battle Week from 7-14 April 2024.

It’s easy to get involved and great opportunity to try your hand at citizen science.

Simply register to hold your own Upstream or Backyard Battle between 7-14 April, and you’ll be helping us to understand the litter issue around both waterways and inland.

The data collected at an Upstream or Backyard Battle provides a secondary dataset to our National Litter Audit and feeds into a shared database that helps to inform local and national legislation, our educational programming and behaviour change campaigns.

Join other schools, community groups and volunteers throughout New Zealand who are passionate about the environment and who are coming together to make a difference and contribute proactively to the solution.

The Summer school holidays have been a time to enjoy our favourite parks, playgrounds, beaches, and shared public spaces. As the school holidays draw to a close, Keep New Zealand Beautiful would like to give some love back to these spaces we’ve enjoyed, by facilitating a couple of Upstream Battles in the East Auckland area.

These Battles will involve: – Collecting litter – Sorting and categorising litter – Removal and correct disposal of litter

As well as being unsightly and unsanitary, litter poses a threat to wildlife on land and at sea. To keep this litter from reaching our precious oceans, we need to pick it up and dispose of it correctly while it is still on land. That is where you come in!

Keep New Zealand Beautiful will provide the rubbish bags and gloves, as well as having a photo set up and stickers, and M&Ms to give away.

If you would like to join us please use the RSVP function below or email lauren@knzb.org.nz with the ‘Eastern Beach Reserve’ in the subject line. Please include your name and the number of adults and children that will be joining in the clean-up.

We look forward to seeing you there and working together to Keep New Zealand Beautiful.

Meeting point: Please meet in the carpark at the southern end of The Esplanade.

Remember to dress appropriately, ie wear sturdy shoes, long sleeve shirts/trousers, a sun hat and bring some water to drink! We also encourage everyone to bring their own gardening or other reusable gloves and any reusable/jute/firewood bags or buckets to collect with, although we will provide gloves and bags if you don’t have any, as well as litter pick-up tools, sunblock and bug spray.

For Health & Safety reasons, please note that all volunteers need to register on arrival and fill out a registration form. (It will only take a minute, we promise!)

Look out for our gazebo near the Rocks Road end of Tāhunanui Beach behind the playground with the ‘Registration’ sign!
