March working bee Saturday 19th



We meet on the St James side of the bridge at 8.45am. Depending on how many turn up there are three areas to work on. There is a excellent stand of Carex secta (or the very un PC common name of Nigger Head) that needs the weeds clearing off. Nearby are two excellent mature examples of Pate trees that the black berry needs clipping back from. It is just touching the outer branches at the moment and also in the same area some branches of a willow tree have come down in a wind and need to be cut up so they do not start sprouting. If we had six people, two at each site, that would tidy things up.
Bring gumboots (we will not be working on wet ground but will be walking through it to get there)
Secateurs, hedge clippers and horticultural saw if you have any of these.
A drink and something to eat
N.B.The photo is of Carex secta taken at Lake Kainui.
