Dune Planting 31 May 2026
Join Greater Wellington, Masterton District Council, and the Riversdale Beach Community Association for a day planting natives into the dunes to protect our coastal areas.
This traditional planting helps to secure our first defence for the beach: the dunes.
This event has been taking place since the year 2000. You can see the benefit of these grasses especially from the surf club down to Acacia and the Northern and Southern Dunes.
The grasses survive the sea water and send long tendrils down the dunes, and don't die off like the Marram grass.
Greater Wellington has secured the plants so come join in if you can spare some time.
See you there!
Greater Wellington District Council
