National Volunteer Week!
We are a little late with the message but want to acknowledge all the incredible volunteers that keep our rowing community thriving. We wouldn’t be running regattas without your passion and ongoing efforts.
THANK YOU 🤩
Tree Donations![]()
Kia ora rowing community,![]()
We are once again looking for generous donors to help further shape the future of our site. New planting is planned for behind the tent sites along our spectator embankment at Lake Ruataniwha.
Five native and six exotic tree species have been carefully selected for our site – we have a maximum number that we need for each species (this varies) so get in early to secure the species you are hoping for. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!![]()
After you fill out the order form, we will contact you to confirm the details before preparing an invoice. We are hoping to plant new trees at the coming spring working bee and also welcome people or group representatives to come and help out, and plant their donated tree. ![]()
