About the concert
The concert will support the Canterbury native wetlands restoration project at Halswell Quarry Park, with a portion of all ticket sales going towards the project.
Christchurch City Council Transport and Greenspace Manager Alan Beuzenberg says hosting the concert at Halswell Quarry Park is a great use of this community space.
“The City Council and local and regional volunteers have spent many years restoring the park and the concert is a great opportunity to promote this work”.
“By restoring natural ecosystems, especially in wetlands and water corridors like rivers, we can create the habitats that will enable our special native birds, insects, fish and other animals to return to the Canterbury region in greater numbers which will benefit us all.”
