Geo-educator, Sasha, invited the public to join Andy at DOC on Wednesday at Wai O Toura at Gards Rd in Duntroon to carrying out some planting there of the site. 

Transcript:

Radio announcer: Time to talk Geopark, joined by the Geoeducator Sasha. Big day on Wednesday for the Geopark.

Geoeducator: Yes, that's right. A few of us are going to be joining Andy at DOC on Wednesday at Wai O Toura at Gards Rd in Duntroon. We're going to be carrying out some planting there of the site and come along. We'll be here during the day to give a wee talk about the Geopark proposal and a little talk about the history of the site itself. So come along, meet myself and one of my colleagues and help out with the planting. Now, the contact details that you'll need for this are on our Facebook page. And you'll need to contact Andy. He's got a bit of a schedule for the day, and just let us know if you're able to come or not. We'd love to see you there.

Radio announcer: Do you need to bring a spade?

Geoeducator: Good question. No, I think everything is provided, including a sausage lunch.

Radio announcer: So that's happening on Wednesday. What time?

Geoeducator: 8:30 we assemble at the DOC field base in Regina Lane. If you just bring suitable clothing, sun hat, glasses and waterproofs just in case that rain comes in.

Radio announcer: Okay. So that's this coming Wednesday, assemble, as you've just said, down at the DOC base on Regina Lane. So the idea behind the planting, what's what's behind that?

Geoeducator: So it's now a DOC site with various remnants of indigenous vegetation there, including a range of nationally threatened and at risk species. And we're looking at reintroducing the Kowhai forests wherever possible, along with other natives there.

Radio announcer: Okay, that's cool. Look, thanks, Sasha. Hope it all goes well and that the weather stays dry for you.

Geoeducator: Thank you. Yes, me too.
