Last year I received a grant of $6,300.00 from ACC / ARC for planting work on the island.
As part of my proposed planting for the DOC reserve on the island, I need to get about 1200 small (Pb3) plants from Waiheke to Rakino in the middle of Winter. I am purchasing the plants from Gulf Trees on Waiheke and they are usually delivered to Matiatia and picked up from there.
Does anybody have any contacts/ideas about how I could do this. If somebody volunteered to use their boat, I would be able to provide petrol money and food.
When I have organized a weekend, I will be asking for volunteers. Feel free to register interest now, it could be fun. Teenagers are welcome.
