2nd BIG MCC community weeding event |
MCC invites you to come along to our second BIG community weeding event to clear Old Man’s Beard vines climbing up the large native trees from a site in the Motueka Valley next to Haycocks Bush. Last time the community managed to clear a length of 700 metres. Let’s see if we can top that!
This second community event is part of a wider MCC project to control weeds in this riparian area. It needs a BIG effort over the next year and this event will carry on the good work started at our last event.
When: Sunday 10 November, 10am – 1pm
Where: Opposite Haycocks Bush, Motueka River West Bank Road (parking and briefing at 2094 Motueka River West Bank Road)
MCC will provide some tools and equipment. However please bring your own secateurs, gloves and a folding saw if you have them. Come in working clothes (long sleeves and pants) appropriate for the weather with sturdy shoes/boots and a raincoat, and be prepared to get stuck in! Experts will be there to explain how to do the mahi.
There’ll be some refreshments provided afterwards.
This event is part of a larger weeding project supported by MCC along the Motueka River West Bank riparian strip between the Graham River confluence and working upstream to a QEII block. This will involve ongoing weeding sessions between July 2024 and July 2026. Some of this weeding will be done by community weeding croups, and some by contractors.
