12 volunteers met on Sunday 17 July to plant the remaining trees provided by DoC’s Community Conservation Fund.

As usual, the main challenge was transporting the plants down the hill.  Thankfully three fit Grammar rowing boys carried out the majority of this back breaking work.

After lunch the group met again on the Dingle’s wetland area to carry out further weeding and planting of trees funded by Auckland Council’s EIF fund.

Unfortunately there was insufficient time to do maintenance work on Sir Duncan McMullin’s property.  There are still approximately 300 trees still to be planted – approximately 200 on the Dingle’s property and 100 on Sir Duncan McMullin’s.
