We were invited to take part in planting of grasses at the Back Beach in early June. One of our favourite Nelmac workers was there. We helped Steve plant the magnolias in the Moller Fountain Reserve last year.
A bus collected us at the school gate and with several parents to assist us we arrived on the most perfect sunny Nelson day (after 2 weeks of rain!) Steve and his helper Pete had laid out the grasses and after inspection of the erosion and a talk about the need to reclaim the dunes, the children began their task. There was great excitement at unearthing enormous huhu grubs in the sand. They were found on buried logs. Each one was placed in the basket with our morning tea, for later inspection and sketching!
