the Waikato environmental centre had a terrific news letter letting know when things like this are going on, and this time availability hours did match up! so if we went! not everyone quite informed, so fewer numbers, and not everyone quite prepared, so there was a gumboot shortage, and shoes got suckled into the mud.
but we all had a great time, the kids really got into it, worked hard and had fun. will definitely be organising more of these outings.
one of the great things about this activity is that we just had to turn up and help, not having to worry about all the other logistics which was a nice break!
