Contorta Pine project
Tongariro National Park staff are again calling for volunteers in the fight against contorta pine on the slopes surrounding the park. For the past 20 odd years volunteers have done a tremendous job in cleaning up the park after it was thought the noxious weed would completely take over. In some cases tramping clubs have been coming back year after year and have come to treat the job as a sort of holiday — the work is not too tough and it is certainly rewarding. You will get to stay out (usually in tents) high on the mountain and at night there is always a camp fire and plenty of camaraderie. You will be supplied with food and assistance will be given with travel costs to Tongariro. If you feel you could help with this worthwhile project, write to Rob McCallum, PO Box 10, Ohakune.
