Wednesday's Working Bee



Four of us turned up for the first Wednesday working bee. We made great progress in brilliant weather by uprooting mainly Japanese Honey Suckle from an existing native flora area that was dominated by Astellia Grandis .
We would like to get the available Wednesday numbers up to about 8 to 12. Not everyone will be able to get along every week so we would have about 6 to 8 people on a working bee. That would get through a lot of work each week. The work is interesting, varied and very satisfying.
If you know of a retired, stay at home, out of work or work from home glide time person that would be interested please encourage them along or to ring Rex 854-0973 for more information. We gather at the foot bridge at 8.45am Wednesday mornings and finish at 12 noon. Get them to bring a morning tea for themselves. Gum boots are required at the moment as it is still pretty wet on the gully floor.



The picture shows an area cleared of Honey Suckle leaving the natives to flourish. The tree trunks in the back ground are Grey Willow. These will eventually be killed off to naturally rot and fall.
