Thomsons Bush has many a helping hand.

September was a busy time at Thomsons Bush, with firstly the Westpac Trust staff getting along to do weeding, planting and clearing rubbish. This important ecological area is an adopted restoration project for Westpac and they are looking at doing some exciting things here, like improving the flow in the stream. As well as that helping hand, St Johns School has been involved in restoration work here for a number of years, recently having another planting day, along with inspecting their original plantings which are forming a canopy now. Another great success story!
