The hīkoi will begin at 6am from 56 Canal Road Avondale and walk into the Auckland Town Hall (via Ash Street, Great North Rd, Western Springs, K Rd and Queen street) in time to arrive at the Town Hall by 9.30am in time for the 10am meeting of the Auckland City Council.
The group will carry the banner Mana Rākau - a movement calling for tree protection.
