AUTHENTIC INDIAN FOOD
WANAKA
Preparing for a day of weed control and rubbish collection, and showing off our new gear trailer. The valleys behind have been cleared of brier.
We are volunteers working in Lindis Pass Scenic Reserve, caring for this much loved landscape in partnership with the Dept of Conservation. As you drive through you will see that infestations of brier, broom, lupin and roadside rubbish are now almost absent. We’ve also trialed re-planting snow tussocks, to restore natural cover where it has been lost to historic burning and grazing. Otago Polytechnic in Cromwell and Te Kakano Nursery in Wanaka have grown plants for us from seed and tillers collected on the Pass, some 600 are doing well. Encouraged by
this, Environment Canterbury ECAN is funding 2000 seed-sourced tussocks for the Reserve.
