RE: Glade Place working bee - 11am at bottom of track this Sunday

[kwsalmon]

Hi All                (Sorry if some of you get this message twice)

We are holding a brief discussion session/working bee this Sunday from 11am to noon at the bottom of the track leading down from Glade Place to Valley Road.

The proposed plan is to:

 - find the native trees that the LeRoys and LSB group has planted in the past in the area of kikuyu at the bottom of the track

 - mark them with stakes (I will bring along some stout 1.5 metre stakes - if anyone has a little sledge hammer please bring this along)

 - discuss a plan for managing the area to propose to council for next year 

 - clear the kikuyu and other exotics from the trees (as much as time permits)

 Helen Renwick will drop a brief notice in letterboxes in Glade and Learmonth, inviting the neighbours to come and look at the spot where  we are  suggesting a grassy area be formed, and to bring their own tools if they want to join in.

 

 If you are busy and can't make it, please email us your ideas.

 

Regards, Keith 

 

PS if you didnt get a copy of the minutes of the last meeting and would like one, let me know and I will send you one.

Subject: Glade Place - stakes for Sunday

Hi Helen and Terry

 

 

The auction closed before I could bid, but I have discovered that the vendor is the Timber Recycling Co at 201A Archers Rd Glenfield.

 

I will try to ring them and order some stakes to be delivered to my place by the weekend.

There is a choice of 1.5m long x 40mm2 and 1.8m long x 20mm2 - I think for our purposes I would go for the more robust - please let me know if you think otherwise.

 

I realise we didnt talk about what people should bring - I assume that if people brought gloves and secateurs/shears to help clear round the trees we find and hammers to knock the stakes in that should do it?

 

Look forward to seeing you at the bottom of Glade Place at 11am.

 

 

Cheers, Keith
