Mid Oreti Native Seed Collecting & Pest Control Workshop event
Join the Mid Oreti Catchment Group Team for some seed collecting in Motu Ngahere (AB Lime’s native forest block-10 Bend Road, Winton), and have a guided walk around this lovely forest learning about the different pest control methods they use to protect it.
The loop track takes about 10 minutes and Brad (Biodiversity Manager) will stop at different pest control stations along the way and talk about how they work and what they target.
The group will then head back down to the nursery and plant up their seeds.
You are welcome to bring you own containers (ice cream ones are great) and plant them up for your plantings at home, or sow some for the Mid Oreti Mini Forest Movement Project.
Sturdy footwear is required, and it would be great if you have a 4WD that you could bring along to help with transport. Don’t worry if you don’t as there will be some on site already to help the group get up the hill to Motu Ngahere.
Event Date:
Wednesday 24 May, 3.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.
(Event date changed from 17th May due to stormy weather)
