Wilding pine update
Graham Leech reports:
Our next day is Tuesday 1 October. We will head to The Lakes this time. Usual arrangements – meet at Omahu/Fernhill just as the Napier Taihape Rd starts by the cemetery at 8am to carpool up to Kuripapango – bring lunch and clothes for bush-bashing. We will supply tools, first aid, plb etc. We aim to be back about 3pm; latest 4pm. Weather forecast is currently so good we could almost plan a swim at lunch!
Our volunteer day on 4 September was a success. See the tramp report
We have another mission scheduled for Wednesday 6 November.
