Great Wellington nature conservation

On Friday we helped the Wellington conservation board, in the same area of wetlands that we worked on Monday. The 2 organisations split the work among themselves. Today we helped remove all the weeds around the new trees that have been planted a couple of months ago. They call it tree releasing as in some cases you literally have to find the tree among all the weeds that have grown around it.
For lunch we had a lovely braai of sausages and then it started to drizzle. We carried on to work potting plants across to bigger bags.
