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

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
36.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
63.2% No, I enjoy it
-
0.6% Other - I'll share below
