Georgetown Cubs 20 October 2020
A big thank you to the enthusiastic group of Georgetown Cubs for their mahi, planting out some special New Zealand native plants at the nursery property as part of their Conservation Badge. A discussion of the areas of NZ that have been deforested, and how restoration is improving nature put their action into context.
The group also learnt about the secretive wetland bird mātātā – the fernbird. The group was exceptional at keeping quiet (for such a large group) and some even heard the fernbird that was nearby. The group learnt what is being done to save it and how simple things like replanting wetland margins and pest control can help.
