Project Island Song’s 12ks of Christmas Jo Hay

From 1st to 12th December, I will be completing the 12ks of Christmas challenge for Project Island Song!

--

I’ll be taking on the 12ks of Christmas, by cleaning up 1 km of roadside litter for each of the 12 days. I will be working my way along Oruru Rd starting at the Shark Park corner, Taipa. I chose this road for my challenge because I ride my bike along this road twice a week from Peria School to my home at Cable Bay, and I see so much litter on my ride that I thought this was a great chance to do something about it. So each day I will start from where I left off the day before, and after 12 days there will be 12kms of cleaned up roadside! Yay! (On one side only atm)

Project Island Song is a pest-free wildlife sanctuary covering seven islands in the eastern Bay of Islands. The community conservation partnership works to restore and protect the natural eco-systems and heritage of the Bay of Islands so that it is here for everyone, forever.

Since 2009, the project has eliminated pests from the islands, reintroduced 8 vulnerable native species, planted over 43,000 native trees, and engaged thousands of tamariki with our unique natural environment.

By sponsoring me to take part in the 12ks of Christmas, you’re helping to continue the restoration of these islands through supporting vital work including pest surveillance and control, volunteer weedbusting trips, reintroducing species, and more.
