May • OLGs Bushy Point, Otatara

Open Day at Thomsons Bush

Thank you to all those who helped Thomsons Bush become a better place. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and had enough to eat.

24 people came to our Open Day on March 1st. A great mix of young and not so young.

12 fadges and 6 bags full today and this first block of the forest has been cleared of ivy, checking for seedlings next and then on to the barberry!

Thank you to ICC and Rob for the food and use of the BBQ!
