We've been getting lots of lovely compliments ...

Sarah from Brown Owl

We've been getting lots of lovely compliments on the progress we're making on clearing the noxious climbers from the riverbank behind Black Beech Street.

Compliments are nice BUT ... we need extra HELP. A very small core of dedicated people regularly turn up but we could achieve so much more with extra hands on board.

Next working bee is this Saturday, 29th April at 9.30 - 12.30. Even if you can only spare a couple hours we'd love to see you.

Gathering point is Black Beech Street, southern end, down access path to riverbank, turn right and walk up about 100m. From the Canoe Club end, turn left and walk down.

You’ll need stout footwear, protective gloves, mozzie repellent and secateurs and/or loppers.

Poison will be provided by Forest & Bird.

Please text Sarah on 027 6100 141 or email sarahlean968@gmail.com to register your interest and for more information.
