This event is family and young kids-friendly! Your pēpi and tamariki are welcome!
10am (or later) - Meet us at Ōakura Beach (main car park by the playground, corner of Tasman Parade and Shearer Dr) for a kōrero - briefing. Look for the Sustainable Taranaki flag!
BYO gloves and buckets if possible, but we'll provide some if needed!
11.30am (or earlier) - Meeting back to drop off all the trash collected (we will separate all items to divert as much as we can from the landfill)

The aim of this event is:
- to clean this location the best we can
- to divert trash from the landfill
- to engage and educate our community about waste and recycling
- to create a fun and meaningful event for families to connect with the environment and take action towards bettering sustainability/conservation
