Whāingaroa Weedbusters

Thank you to Adam and Monique and all the lovely peeps at Titoki Landcare for giving us a shout out. We love your work too 😍

Whāingaroa/Raglan's west coast is remarkable — but keeping it that way won't be by accident.

It takes a community, showing up again and again, to keep the weeds back and the natives thriving. That's exactly what Whāingaroa Weedbusters does, with regular working bees around Raglan open to anyone keen to get involved.

Follow Whāingaroa Weedbusters to hear about the next one — there's a place for you.

The weather was cracking this morning for an ambush of pest plants on Kaitoke walkway by Whaingaroa Weedbuster volunteers. 8 wonderful people came along including Eiko who’d not been before. She and Christine shared a great chat about yoga while hand pulling Gorse seedlings.

We nailed lots of Ginger, Climbing asparagus, Aristea, Wattle and some seedling Privet. Isn’t so much left where we were working and heaps of baby native plants coming through 😍

We meet 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings each month 9am-11am. Starting point varies depending on where we’re working. Finish with home baking and other treats. Today was fresh home grown oranges.

Cool !! Can we get a tuk tuk. Bet people will be lining up to help if we had one of these.

The Skip Bin is already full again!
Murray G. and Graham picked up the Blackberry that the Plummers Point Team had cleared out alongside the cycleway ahead of the planting session today. TukTuk Bluey was loaded up and we carted the Blackberry across to our bin. Fred (aka Podman) won't be happy, the bin is already chokka (no room for Moth Vine Pods), and the bin contractor only emptied it on Wednesday. Good to be able to help our neighbours, but will need to schedule another clearance promptly.

Ahhh, this makes more sense…
Look ! How generous is Titoki Landcare.
Look, listen and learn and try it out first yourself as Adam empties his brain filled with plant knowledge, how to gather funding, how to consider your site, what plants to put where for a great outcome for your conservation restoration project in your back garden, your road margin, your neighbouring reserve space.
Thanks Tītoki Landcare
