On Saturday, 6 December, a group of 15 students and leaders from the St George’s youth group, joined the LHVS for a two-hour working bee near Tenetahi Road. After a brief educational session on the key weed species in the area, the group got to work, focusing primarily on clearing kahili ginger and climbing asparagus.
The weather was fabulous. After a BBQ lunch, the students were taken on a short trapping trip upstream, where they were able to see some of the trap boxes they had built. Another visit is planned in the New Year by the team co-ordinator, Evan Walters, together with students from Auckland Grammar.
