Landcare Okareka volunteers have been busy tidying up various places around Lake Okareka over the past few months. We have tidied up the plantings at the toilets at Boyes beach, Steep Street reserve, and Acacia Road. The Lake Okareka Walkway got a really good tidy up, with some family groups helping out - thank you to everyone who came to help. We had our first planting working bee at the Lake Okareka Hall washed out but it was planted and mulched over Queen's Birthday weekend.
Landcare Okareka volunteers have some other plantings to help with this year, such as around the Tarawera Road transfer and recycling station. This working bee is planned for the morning of Saturday 27th August 2016. It will be a joint working bee with volunteers from Lake Tarawera, Lake Okareka and Rotorua Forest & Bird. Everyone who would like to help will be most welcome, as there are around 1600 plants to be put in.
There is some more planting to be done at the entrance to the DOC camp and also down near the end of Acacia Road. The main focus for Landcare Okareka is planting this year which will be along the new walking track from Boyes beach to the DOC camp, once the track in that area is completed.
Another project that Landcare Okareka organises each year is the local Garden Bird Survey. Please look for the article and survey form in this Newsletter. If you are keen to help with any Landcare Okareka working bees, we would appreciate any time that you have to spare. Working Bees will continue to happen on the 4th Saturday of the month (unless otherwise notified). Watch out for the sign boards to go up - and please feel free to come and help.
