Herbert Forest Working Bee

22 November 2015

Four members in two vehicles arrived at the Breakneck Road gate at 8.15.  It was agreed that Tim and Bill would take the scrub cutter and deal to the gorse on the Swallows return loop while Robbie and John would head for Hoods Creek with the chainsaw and line trimmer.  Everyone would meet back at the gate at 2pm.

Starting from the top, Tim and Bill cleared the whole of the track through the gorse section on the upper part of the Swallows return loop using the scrub cutter and slasher.  Robbie and John cut and cleared all the windfalls on the Hoods Creek Track, working from both ends.  They also cut back the grass, blackberry and broom at both ends of Hoods Creek and the bottom entrance to Swallows.  This left the planned re-forming of the track across the replanted area at the south end of the Podocarp Track for another day.

A satisfactory day for the four who turned up.
