Part of our re-vegetation assignment is to monitor our plantings every 4-6 weeks. So last Thursday in the pouring rain, four of us ventured out to the planting site at Moturoa. Overall the site was looking good, the survival rate of plants was high and there wasn't many weeds growing.
We didn't spend a huge amount of time there due to the weather. On our next check we will hopefully be able to take the time to check all of the plants more thoroughly and maybe remove weeds around the bases if necessary.
We did notice some pest damage particularly on the ngaio leaves as seen below.
There were also a couple of manuka that were looking rather brown and probably will not survive. One of the covers had blown over so we put that back in place.
Even though it was a quick (and wet!) visit, it was great to see our plants surviving and I look forward to going back in years to come to see this stretch of native bush regenerating.
