Green Fingers Group ~ Planting the new Camellia hedge ahead of the Cart Shed, Omokoroa Golf Club. The Team (Murray, David, Jenny, Lucie, Sue and Jacquie) completed our mission for the morning. Murray dug the plant holes with the auger, the Setsugaka Camellias were then set in the ground and dressed with soil. Weedmat and Warratahs with lines were added and then the stone mulching was achieved. Lucie gave the plants a thorough soaking with the hose as well as cleaning away the grubby shoe marks from the concrete. Excellent Team work and good banter too. πŸ‘

Traps Session with Mike, Chance meet-up with Dianne, and Bait Stations ~ Fantastic to catch up with Mike yesterday, to do traps training and then arrange the set out of some DOC200 and Possum traps with him. With Mike's help, this extends the PFO traps line on the Peninsula perimeter closer to the State Highway in an area we wouldn't otherwise be able to access.
Afterwards, I happened upon Dianne working on Moth Vine management at the fenceline across from ITM. Nice to learn from her that she is seeing noticeably less vine seedlings 🌱 popping up in this location this season.
Next stop was at the Green Waste Station where I then added in a few more Tbar bait stations.
A not so lazy ole Sunday morning.

Green Fingers Group, Omokoroa Golf Club ~ 13th Tee Garden.
A scheduled working bee for the Team (Lynda, David and Jacquie). Today, we moved away from the Clubhouse gardens and shifted our few hours of focus to the 13th Tee garden. Weeding was completed along both sides of the hedge as well as around the Broms, with just a tinsy bit of weedspraying done to halt the next round of weeds in their tracks. 🌱 ❎️

Bait Stations and Traps ~ Tui Glen Walkway and Peach Beach.
Had an outing with Cailyn this morning to set out a DOC200 trap and a number of rat bait stations. Cailyn has been managing a traps line for Pest Free Omok, and was keen to also look after rat bait stations and a DOC200 trap (she's also been monitoring a few of these at the golf club for us). We set up a new bait station line at Tui Glen, and then added in some bait stations to an existing bait line at Peach Beach.
Fantastic to see many White Faced Heron, Royal Spoonbills and Godwits at the far end of the beach. Nice work, Cailyn. πŸ‘

Green Fingers Group Work Bee at Omokoroa Golf Club. Today's Volunteer Team (Lynda, Hugh, David, Andy and Jacquie) met early for a session of adding the "finishing touches" to three of the gardens; completing stone work and mulching. Thanks to Hugh for making the job easier by using the tractor with scoop to deliver the stones to us, and to David for filling up TukTuk Snowy with bark mulch. A bonus to have Andy from The Links Cafe along for a few hours to help us with spreading the stones at the Club entrance gate on his day off. πŸ‘

Traps Circuit Check ~ Cooney Reserve to Tinopai. On Tony's round of the run-throughs, DOC200 and Possum traps along the Reserve, he's reported one Hedgehog and one Rat caught in the DOC200s. Nice work. πŸ‘

Traps Check, Tinopai Reserve. Only one large Rat and one tiny Mouse caught this time. The Leptospermum flowers look magnificent (the pink ones just like Coconut Ice).

Green Fingers Group, Omokoroa Golf Club ~ Extending the garden ahead of the Carpark and new Cart Shed. A productive morning for the volunteers (Lynda, Sue, Elaine, David and Jacquie) with weedmatting, planting of black mondo grasses (repurposing plants from the old Clubhouse garden by the men's changing area and from the retired lily pond garden beside the 14h Tee) and then Leptospernum (White Waterfalls). Thanks to Earthforce Nursery for these plants. The Team enjoyed a few laughs, more yoga moves, and what would a session be without a few road cones, given we are in Omokoroa. Mulch was added around the plants (thanks, David, for loading TukTuk Bluey up with many tubs worth) and then a final clean up of the area. Well done Ladies and Gent. 🀩

Traps Check~Golf Course Circuit. Where are the Pests?
Nothing at all in the traps this time. The smaller Rat/Mice run-throughs with traps have been loaded with yummy PIC's Peanut Butter and the DOC200s with Beef n Rice Dog Roll.
Let's see if that tickles their taste buds.
