Rural Women's group workday in the sun at Dipton Wetland!

A few of the group were out releasing plantings and doing the trap checks today. After all the rain and floods it was a good chance to see how things have fared. The results of recent bait refills were evident with a few dead possum seen too. For more details of future working bees, contact Ann Irving at Rural Women NZ

Ann stands beside a threatened species planting of Olearia hectorii.
The poisoning of willows is going well, with regen plantings coming away underneath the dead trees.
Blue topped stakes help to indicate where plants are, making the important clearance of grass job easier.
