Bothamley Park Clean-up
26 August 2020
A huge thankyou to all who turned up to test their skills in nasty scrub gorse and blackberry, and subject themselves to cleaning up other people’s rubbish!
Fifty two attendees made entries on the clipboard lists for contact tracing, but I am quite sure some missed signing in. The number who came to help included a dozen very willing members of the Aotea Environmental Group - some also members of TTC.
The wader-clad Franz Hubmann thought nothing of wading through the deeper pools to tackle the more difficult, inaccessible places.
The project was very successful and I wish to thank Porirua City Council for their assistance by way of providing bags and equipment, and collecting the recovered materials.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
