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.
