Wow 34 volunteers arrived yesterday even with the awful weather predicted! No rain at all thought it was wet enough scrambling through the 'bush'. The volunteers were from all walks of life...a 76 year old 'birthday' boy, high school young men, grandchildren and all highly enthusiastic to take part - first timers and the hardworking regulars.
All the enrichment plants were planted. Paul has carried off another event arranged with military precision and a huge amount of preparation and planning. Just to get the plants from various nurseries and the exact number of the various plants has taken weeks of planning by him and Catherine Smith.
I felt that the enthusiasm by the Public for the Waiwhakareke Natural Heritage Park is growing exponentially With increased enthusiasm for the Park to be open for all to enjoy, will also increase the pressure on HCC to get the infrastructure in place that HCC itself requires of the Partners to be in place before that occurs
Great work by the Friends of Waiwhakareke Potting Group to have the plants ready for planting. See you all next month. Winter is our window of opportunity to plant the enrichment plants.
