Papanui Bush Clean-up Report
About 80 people arrived at 9am in the heaviest frost of the year to grub, weed and plant in the Bush.
Colleagues Emma Norrish and Cr. Mike Davidson of Papanui-Innes Community with staff: Helen, Stacey and Christine (thanks for the hot coffee and sausages team); about ten of us from Papanui Rotary; several CCC Rangers; members of the public; Papanui Heritage; rotating classes from Papanui High School during class periods; and the CCC Walking Group came through as well.
We got lots done including mainly ring weeding around the growing native trees, some new plantings, and large areas of stubborn weeds were grubbed or pulled out and extracted.
The concreted metal tree plaques initiated by Denis McMurtie and supported by Rotary and Papanui Heritage were also installed at strategic sites in the Bush.
