Well after a few delays we finally got a planting afternoon at Cockpit. Thankyou to Forestry for the trees, and to Dick & Wayne who went and collected them. A small team comprising of Dick Massicks, George Barff, Sorrel Wilby, Ruby Ciantar, Don & Sue Brian and me & my girls Lexi & Brianna Tavener - Thankyou yorlye Thankyou also to Neil Tavener who again lent us his tree hole digger... certainly makes the job easy.
The area was fairly steep although not as bad as some in Cockpit we have worked in. Despite this we got around 70 trees planted in around an hour.... what great teamwork!! This area was one we had left clear due to a dead pine on the slope above. Thankfully the last cyclone took it down and with the great growing weather of showers and sun that Norfolk is experiencing currently; the trees should fly.
Best Regards

Landcare planting afternoon this weekend we hope!
After having to reschedule now a few times due to weather and conflicting events; we now have planned a PLANTING DAY for Sat 7th May 2011 2.30pm at Cockpit C3 area – dependant on weather. We’ll be planting the slope which used to have a big dead pine above which thankfully now has fallen down. The area is fairly steep so you need to be good on your feet. We’ll have machinery to dig the holes but spades etc are handy to fill them in after the trees go in. All helpers are welcome. We’ll finish with afternoon tea
Keep an ear out for a radio notice if we have to postpone again for rain.
