A reminder that there will be a:
WORK DAY at Tokerau Beach DOC Reserve.
Sunday 1 March from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
The weather forecast is looking grim for tonight, but hopefully the storm will have passed over by Sunday morning. If we decide to cancel there will be a message on the FNEC phone from 8 am Sunday, so call 4081086 for an update before heading to the beach.
Gather at the end of Simon Urlich Road, at the entrance to the Dune Reserve area. Soozee will explain the Plan of Attack which will encompass 2 areas. One area with a patch of Cape Honeyflower will be tackled by organic methods while a second area will be controlled via cutting and painting stumps with herbicide. The organic/manual methods will require return visits to control regrowth, but herbicided area will need similar returns to deal to seedlings, so this will create an interesting trial of comparative methods.
Bring:
- Overalls or similar tough clothing
- Sturdy footwear
- Hat, sunscreen
- Drink
We will supply loppers, gloves and handsaws but bring own tools if preferred.
A BBQ lunch will be supplied by DOC.
If weather stops play, work day will be rescheduled to March 15. Check www.ecocentre.co.nz for updates, or call Soozee on 4081086
