Adele Smaill of Cooks Beach won 20L of Cut'n'Paste, a new brush on Herbicide at the Waitakere Home and Garden Show. Adele is very active in conservation work in the Coromandel with both animals and plants and said ""The project I work on is plant and animal pest control in the Cooks Beach to Ferry Landing area - as a contractor to "Thames Coromandel District Council". With limited budgets, your donation means there will be more money available for my labour and purchasing native plants to "heal" weed damaged sites. Projects of special focus are the Ferry Landing Cemetary and Shakespeare Cliff Reserve. Weeds that I'm looking forward to "cutting 'n pasting" include privet, woolly nightshade, tradescantia, cotoneaster, wattles, phoenix palm, pampas, agapanthus, gorse, blackberry, spanish heath, climbing asparagus fern, dumped succulents and cactii. The list goes on ...
Cheers
Adele Smaill"
