Just over a week ago I headed down to our southern coast (Palliser Bay) of our Northern Island…. why?? To take photos and do a little to help the local people of Pirinoa and Kahutara clean up the beach from Whangaimoana to Lake Ferry. Organised by the Sth Wairarapa Biodiversity group’s Vanessa Tipoki it brought kids from Pirinoa and Kahutara Schools together with teachers, a few parents, locals, Sth Wairarapa Rotary and Greater Wellington Regional Council staff…..together they scavanged the beach for all manner of trash from nylon fishing gear to vehicle tyres, loaded it onto trailers towed by quad bikes and deposited it all at Lake Ferry for disposal by Sth Wairarapa District Council. It was all followed by a wonderful BBQ at the Lake Ferry Hotel where the kids tucked into yummy sausages……
Enjoy the pics….
