RIVER PARK PLANTING
THANK YOU PŪHOI!
Another fantastic effort by the Pūhoi Community to revegetate our riverbanks. We've got 2,000 plants in over the last two months! AWESOME!! This has gone a long way towards repairing the damage after flooding in 2022 and towards our efforts to restore the ecological vitality of our Pūhoi River.
Thanks also to Auckland Council and Whitebait Connection for providing the plants, doing the site prep and great sausage sizzles after all the work! Thanks to RRE for help with gazebos, yummy bikkies and hot tea and coffee. Finally, a big shout out to Dan Marrow, our AC community liaison, who coordinated everything so well, and whose boundless energy and enthusiasm is inspiring.
Take yourselves, your families, and dogs (on leash) along the River Walkway to see what your community has achieved! It's a great outing, flat for the most part and there are picnic tables to enjoy a snack. We hope to put in further tracks to connect this walkway to the old Te Araroa Walkway over the next two years for your enjoyment. More pics here.

What PCF Does
Manage Puhoi's 42 ha park
Since it's incorporation in 2001 the Puhoi Community Forum has managed the PPMP, adding kilometres of fencing, done years of riparian and hillside planting, created the village loop walk and River Walkway, erected the Anzac memorial and liaised with Rodney Local Board to maintain and improve this amazing community asset.
Community channel
Whether it is pest control, community resilience, roading and road safety, Council or Local Board liaison, the Forum is here to provide a voice for Puhoi, to channel information, and seek solutions for issues that affect us all.
Building A Community
The Forum exists to provide links between all our different community groups, and to support local projects and initiatives that work for our community. These might be small, such as the Anzac Memorial Gates or large, such as the Wharf Project. We'd love to hear from you if you have any ideas for our community.

How Does It Work?
The Puhoi Community Forum meets once a month on the last Tuesday of each month at 7.30 in the Puhoi Community Sports Club.
Anyone can come along to a meeting. You or your family can become a member for just $10 annually. Membership gives you a voice on the Forum and the right to vote on community measures under consideration. Everyone is welcome. We offer a community presence beyond Facebook, where you can have a voice and help create the community we all want to belong to.
We invite all community groups to join us when they can to keep the community updated, address problems and share successes.
Did you know Landcare now have over 300 ha under pest control? Or that the local hall committee have won funds to upgrade the kitchen and toilet facilities? Or that Puhoi Sea Scouts need leaders and the Volunteer Fire Brigade are seeking two new volunteers? Check out the individual groups in Puhoi in Community Groups at the top of this page.
