Wicked Weeders 26th November

Only three more Wicked Weeder sessions until our summer break🏖️

This Tuesday, the 26th, we'll head to the new planting site at Hipapatua, near the top camping area. These plants have been chemically released but the convolvulus is making a strong comeback, so we’ll focus on pulling it back to give our new plants some breathing room. We’ll also secure the stakes to ensure we can easily find the plants when we return at the end of summer, even if the weeds try to take over again.🌱

It’s certainly warming up so remember to cover up and bring some water along to keep hydrated. The ground is uneven in areas and there is still a lot of broken glass and rubbish throughout so good footwear, a sunhat, and don’t forget your gloves.

I will bring a few tools that could be helpful but imagine we would be using our hands to untwine and pull out convolvulus 🌿

930am-12 Hipapatua off of Huka Falls Road
