Reveg today at 3 different sites;
Pinkerton Park, Newlands (500 plants)
Tyers Stream, Ngaranga Gorge (500 plants)
Fort Buckley, Wadestown (200 plants)
We planted a selection of hebes grasses, flaxs and coprosmas.
Everyone on site one - Pinkerton's Park. The area to be planted used to be a cycle path that had been turfed over. Some reveg was done last year on this site so some flaxs were already there. Due the heavy rainfall over the past few days the site was very wet and boggy. |

Phormium tenax - swamp flax |

Site 2 - Tyers Stream. Very steep and rocky site. Grubbers were needed to dig holes as it was too stony for normal spades |
Newly planted Coprosma |
Site 3 - Fort Buckley. Extremely steep site approx 50-55° slope. The soil was very loose and easy to plant in - but not good for getting a firm footing! |
But it had a good view at least |
