Taupo Swamp Weeding Dates (Spring)
Taupo Swamp has some new weeding dates this spring
Saturday 26th (Labour weekend) 10am - 1pm.
Meet us in Ulric St outside the pedestrian entrance to the NZ Motor Caravans site.(7 Ulric St) Look for the FOTSC banner. Bring gumboots and gloves. We have plenty of gloves too. We will be removing bindweed on the south side of the bund - particularly around the Kahikateas that were planted this last winter. We will go ahead unless the weather is very wet. Ground Up Bakery and coffee are nearby!
COMPLETED
Thursday October 31st. 9am- 2pm.
We will continue removing Bindweed. There will be a group of corporate volunteers from WSP (environmental engineers) with us. But more hands are welcome to get on top of the bindweed before it smothers the trees. Meet at the FOTSC storage container shed but please minimise the amount of cars and pedestrians on the Compost NZ site by parking on the street or in the empty yard on the right hand side of Compost NZ site. ie turn right as you enter the CNZ site. Please be aware of traffic movement on the CNZ site.
Wednesday 20th Nov 10-12.
We have a Forest and Bird walking group of volunteers. Again it would be good if we could support them with a dozen local volunteers. Meet at the end of Freshfields Place, adjacent to the GWRC weir on Taupo Stream. 8 Freshfields Place, Plimmerton, Porirua 5026.
Feel free to bring along your mates or anyone willing to volunteer.
