Herbert Forest Botanical Walk
Sunday 9th October 2016
Seven of us left the car park and we picked up 3 more at Robbie’s. This was a botanical ramble with 2 very knowledge botanists, Zuni Steer and Hugh Wood. The object of the day was to try and educate us in identifying our native flora and then to remember their names! Quite a challenge for some .
We started at the bottom of the Podocarp Track and meandered our way to the big trees, then took the Glenbournie Loop back. On the way back we were often tested to see if we had retained our newly found knowledge!!
A very big thanks to Zuni and Hugh for coming out and helping us and being so patient.
On the way home we dropped the key off and Robbie gave us an open air didgeridoo concert overlooking the Waianakarua River. What a great way to finish the day.
Thank you to every one for a very entertaining day.
