The event will be jointly hosted by QEII and the Friends of I’Anson Care Group and will highlight the work that QEII is doing with the Care Group to help I’Anson Reserve thrive.
It will be a great day to explore the reserve, connect with the Care Group, see the restorative planting and learn about the weeding initiatives and predator control happening in the reserve. A picnic lunch will be provided, please bring your own water bottle. Picnic blankets and chairs are welcomed. As space is limited, we ask that you RSVP as soon as possible and for pets to be left at home. As this event is outdoors, please remember to wear sturdy footwear and appropriate sun protection. RSVP will be on a first in basis.
