Riverbank working bee, Birchville, Upper Hutt
A huge thank you to everyone who turned up on Saturday 22 October to help clear one of the worst patches of jasmine on the riverbank behind Black Beech Street. This invasive climber had taken hold of a large area, it spreads along the ground and up our native trees forming a dense mat under which little survives. We also tackled thickets of brambles. Amazing how much was achieved by 10 people!
This is an ongoing project, so if you missed this one and want to be in on future working bees, please message me.
