Summertime releasing work is underway on the Grow Te Ahumairangi Forest project.

If you’d like to join us all you need is a degree of fitness, stout footwear, a pair of gloves and a good eye for plant recognition (or the desire to learn same).

So it’s mainly close work, pulling out weed species around our native plantings and checking growth or survival! We do sessions morning or afternoon on fine days.

If you are keen to see native forest restored on Te Ahumairangi Hill, please join us when you are able.

Phone, text or email me to coordinate a time to join me.

Please spread the word through your communities.

Be well and happy!

Good Afternoon all,

RELEASING continues in our planting lanes this Sunday morning 19 March.

Don't forget your gloves and some sunscreen and a hat. If you have a small hand fork, that's useful too. It's not strenuous work - simply focussed, eye-hand coordination to recognise and pull out the pest species and preserve the native regeneration!

Rendezvous: Errol's place 155 Cecil Road, Wilton by 9:30am
RSVP: 021 139 3818

If any of you have time midweek, ground preparation for the 2017 tree planting has started! Again, let Errol know if you can help out during the week.

Cheers. 🌿🌿🌿

PLEASE RE-LEASE ME, LET ME GO...
Last Sunday we made good progress on pulling up the swathe of sycamore-lings under
and around the main catchment gully. The Matai, Kohekohe, Totara, Hedycarya and Fuchsia trees are growing well. The soil hasn't dried out so much this year (thanks to an indifferent summer and despite the fierce winds).

This coming Sunday morning I want to tackle the light Spring weed growth around our planting above Karl Tischler's property. Don't forget to bring your rubberised gloves if you have some (the leather spares I have are too clumsy for this finger-work).
If we have sufficient numbers there are some light wells that need opening above Matai planted among the Mahoe canopy.

See you just before 9:30am at 155 Cecil Road, Wilton. The forecast is for fine sunny weather, so hopefully we can take refreshments outside on the back deck under the umbrella afterwards.
