Leigh resident Martin Turner wasn’t deterred when asked if he’d be available to help with weeding along the notorious bullock track at the bottom of Tenetahi Road. Clearly, he hadn’t been put off by this ominous stretch of weeds.
On Sunday, 27 July, armed with enthusiasm and determination, Martin tackled the dreaded jasmine, pulling it out roots, nodes and all. The recent wet weather helped considerably, making removal easier than usual, and two large weed bags were filled with very little effort. In total, 5 1/2 volunteer hours were devoted to this task.
In addition to his help at working bees, Martin has also been kindly tending to the plants along the foreshore, including controlling kikuyu that was threatening to engulf the platform walkway.
A big thank Martin for your ongoing efforts. We really appreciate your contribution.
