Wellingtonians are in for a surprise on Wednesday – the City Council is bringing the bush to the city for a day to launch Parks Week.
On Bond Street on Wednesday there will be a pop-up urban forest made up of over 2000 native plants. As part of the Council’s 2 Million Trees project, staff will be giving away trees at the pop-up forest in the late afternoon. The giveaway goes towards helping Council achieve its target of planting two million trees in Wellington by 2020.
