Puke Kopipi Mahi this Saturday, June 13, 2-5pm.

We had a great mahi yesterday, thank you to wonderful Volunteers, clearing branches, blackberry, wire, plastic debris from under the high dying kikuyu. Soon, after a few more mahis, that ugly prominent corner and along the golf border, will be planted. Diarise winter planting, our last planting for Puke Kopipi! Share our awesome Winter Planting flyer made by Ian Skipworth and AI!

Puke Kopipi were super fortunate and send grateful thanks to Graham Anderson and his Air Force Team, for spending two hours clearing some very nasty blackberry near the Golf Course. We will be planting here and all along that border this winter and it was a daunting task for just a few of us older Volunteers! Photos before and after.

Thank you to those who prayed for Puke Kopipi during the recent big rain. It worked! There was some minor wind damage but thankfully no slips, so we are very grateful, our prayers instead turning to Mauao.
We are glad now of this light rain, which will freshen the new native plants and I think the rain will clear for the afternoon. We are going in just by the first seat and w**ding up towards the gut.
