Mawaihakona Stream Working Bee Saturday 9 May, 9am meet at concrete bridge

• Where to park for this working bee?  County Lane
• Meet up where? At the Concrete Bridge.
• When? Saturday 9 May, 9am for however long you can manage to commit to help,
• What to bring? Heavy contractor type wheelbarrows, Shovels, Rakes, Gloves etc.

We are advised that the first of donated gravel is being made available to us for spreading onto our stream tracks to assist us do away with Winter time muddy tracks.

This hopefully will be dumped by the concrete bridge. 

We propose from 9am  on the 8 May to spread gravel up towards the Hutt river trail  both sides starting from the Concrete bridge and back towards the ford as time and volunteer labour allows. 

This needs a whole community to move the Gravel in place so please reach out to friends, families and known users of the Mawaihakona Stream trails and ask for assistance where possible.

What to bring…

Heavy Wheel barrows, shovels, rakes gloves etc.

We hope to borrow some mechanised wheelbarrows from GWRC.

If anyone has contacts for useful equipment please reach out to them to borrow for Use as well.

We plan to borrow the key for the gate at County Lane to allow mechanised equipment access up the river trail and onto the tracks…

A “thank you” to Kevin Braddock for sending this article to The Upper Hutt Connection.
