Dear Landcare Okareka volunteers and supporters
A huge thank you to everyone who has helped and supported the Landcare Okareka volunteer efforts, in any way over the past 12 months - as volunteers you have assisted with:
This is just some of the work that Landcare Okareka volunteers have been involved with over the past 12 months.
Thank you all for all of your efforts - you have certainly made a huge contribution to the beauty and biodiversity of Lake Okareka. A very special thank you to those LO volunteers who so willingly travel out from Rotorua (or further afield) to help with various activities.
I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas with your families and friends and a safe and happy New Year.
Kindest regards

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped and supported the Landcare Okareka volunteer efforts, in any way over the past 12 months - as volunteers you have assisted with:
- weed control in various places around the settlement reserves and along the walkway - if it wasn't for this work the lake edge along the walkway would disappear into a forest of willow!
- planting several hundred new trees along the new walking track and in several reserves
- animal pest control, including rats, mustelids, hedgehogs, wild cats, and possums - along the Lake Okareka Walkway (especially the wetland areas) and in the riparian margin through the settlement and along the new walking track
- 69 wasp nests treated - on private land at no charge to landowners/occupiers - and in reserves, roadways and walking tracks
- bird hide maintained
- boards replaced on the boardwalk on the Lake Okareka Walkway
- brush cutting beside the boardwalk and from Silver beach to the end of the walkway (twice - as RLC failed to do it)
