Sunday, July 18 - Quail Island

We took the ferry from Lyttelton Harbor to Quail Island to take part in a work day.  We certainly eared our tea as we helped relocate silver tussock from areas where it would not grow well (under forested areas) to hilltops where it will thrive.  It was hard work carrying the transplants uphill, but rewarding to know that our efforts will help with native plant restoration efforts on the island as it continues to transform in the years to come.
