Little Shoal Bay Beach Clean Up

Open booking. You can join it immediately
Description
Let's kick off our conservation efforts with a WayWiser hosted beach clean up!
Little Shoal Bay was originally an estuary surrounded by cliffs with salt marshes in its upper reaches. In pre-European times, Onewa Pa on Stokes Point (now Northcote Point) was an important stronghold for Ngai Tai, Ngati Whatua and Ngati Paoa. Little Shoal Bay was frequented by Maori to fish and gather shellfish. In the early 1900s, there was a Maori Orchard below Seaview Ave and a Maori Track from it up Wilding Ave. Today, an old pathway known as Maori Track runs up from the Scout Den to Council Terrace beside the reserve.
We will also include Halls Beach, access down a path beside the Bridgeway movie theatre.
We'll get together early for the clean-up, then finish with a swim and some drinks and snacks.

Hi, will we need to catch a ferry to the clean up beach?

Hi Tim, we will set the beach location by early next week and give everyone updates on transportation, etc :)

Shoal Bay is located on the North Shore, so depending on where you are coming from you may need to catch a bus or ferry :)
