Two Working Bees This Week

30/11/2016

0 Comments

 
Hi there Lake Okareka Walking Track supporters and volunteers
 
Thank you to those who came and helped with last week's after work Working Bee on the walking track. This week there are 2 Working Bees planned. Hopefully the weather will co-operate.
 
This week there will be an "after work" Working Bee on the Lake Okareka Track this week on Wednesday 30th November 2016 from around 4.30pm / 5.00 pm. The team will be working a bit later this time - until around 7.00 pm - so if you cannot get there by 5.00 pm you will be very welcome if you can come a bit later.

Once again it will be laying textiles and then gravel over the top, using the tractor and trailer to cart and spread the gravel.
 
There will also be a Working Bee on the Lake Okareka Walking Track Saturday 3rd December 2016 from 9 am until 12 noon.
 
For both Working Bees: Please park at the Boyes beach car park and walk across the reserve towards where the Te Waiariki Purea Trust paddle shed and the large gravel heap is located. Please wear suitable clothing and strong closed toes foot wear. Bring gardening gloves, a shovel and a rake (if you have them). Please also bring a drink and a snack, if you think you might get hungry/thirsty.
 
Looking at the weather forecast, the weather should be great for Wednesday and let's hope Saturday is also fine.
For further information please email [email protected] or phone 07 362 8865.
 
Kind regards

Hi there Landcare Okareka volunteers and supporters
 
First of all many thanks to all of those hard working volunteers who came to help at last month's Working Bee at the DOC camp. Your hard work trimming and tidying up the DOC camp roadway and within the camp was so much appreciated, and the camp looks really tidy now, already for the busy summer season.
 
THIS MONTH'S WORKING BEE - Saturday 26th November 2016
WHEN: from 9 am
WHERE: meet up at Acacia Road Reserve (along from the jetty and ramp)
WHAT: a general tidy up of reserves and garden areas around Lake Okareka that LO Volunteers look after for the community - before Christmas and now that Rotorua Contracting have done some mowing!
WHAT TO BRING: Please wear suitable clothing, closed toe footwear, bring hi viz jacket - if you have one, sun hat and sunscreen (if it looks hot), water bottle, pruning gear if you have any of these - secateurs, loppers, pruning saw, rake.
 
We will provide drinking water and cups, and all of the makings for morning tea/coffee.
 
Give me a call or send an email if you would like more information.
Hoping to see many of you at this Working Bee.
 
Kind regards

Please park at the Boyes beach car park and walk across the reserve towards where the Te Waiariki Purea Trust paddle shed is located. Please wear suitable clothing and strong closed toes foot wear.

Hopefully the weather will play ball for Wednesday afternoon.
