WORK DAY at Tokerau Beach DOC Reserve

Celebrate the Start of Sea Week With the Far North Environment Centre

Sunday 1st March from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

Gather at the end of Simon Urlich Road, at the entrance to the Dune Reserve area. Soozee will explain the Plan of Attack which will encompass 2 areas. One area with a patch of Cape Honeyflower will be tackled by organic methods while a second area will be controlled via cutting and painting stumps with herbicide. The organic/manual methods will require return visits to control regrowth, but herbicided area will need similar returns to deal to seedlings, so this will create an interesting trial of comparative methods.

Please bring:

• Overalls or similar tough clothing

• Sturdy footwear

• Hat, sunscreen

• Drink

We will supply loppers, gloves and handsaws but bring own tools if preferred.

A BBQ lunch will be supplied by DOC.

If weather stops play, work day will be rescheduled to March 15. Check www.ecocentre.co.nz for updates, or call Soozee on 4081086
