Tidying up of the Native Planting on the Hutt Riverbank

Posted by Annette Ruck

Last Saturday morning a group of young men on a special home detention rehabilitation scheme and their supervisor formed a volunteer working party and came to clear away weeds from our club's grove of native planting on the riverbank at Taita. They cleared weeds from the edge of the planted area facing the river trail and it looks so much tidier now. The original grove of trees was planted in 2018 under the leadership of the late David Comparini who was a member of our club.
