On 4 December Richard and John walked through the Deanei Reserve to identify any issues that might need council assistance, such as dumped rubbish, drainage problems, old signage, and weed invasion.
On a positive note, recent rains saw the dam holding a good amount of water, in contrast to being completely dry a few months ago. Also, many of the Deanei plantings were looking healthy and well established.

It was back to the Lawson Rd area to continue the campaign against the horrid Trad. Many bags were filled, and up to six Brown Cuckoo-Doves arrived to give us their support.
