Riverbank Clearance Working Bee - Saturday 18 March
Invasive plants like cape ivy, jasmine, honeysuckle and brambles are killing our native trees along the river trail behind Black Beech Street in Upper Hutt.
Last year we held a working bee to cut and paste the stems of these interlopers with herbicide, leaving them to die so the native trees can recover over time. We’ve achieved some amazing results, but we’ve still got a long way to go, hence we’re holding another working bee. If you can spare even a couple hours that would be a great help.
Date and time: Saturday 18 March, 9.30 am to 1.00 pm (unless raining)
Gathering point: Blackbeech Street, southern end, down access path to Riverbank.
You’ll need:
• stout footwear
• protective gloves
• one or more of the following cutting tools: Secateurs, Loppers, Pruning Saw
Poison will be provided by Forest & Bird. You might also need mozzie repellent!

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
