Reflections on a Month Gone By

A cloudy morning turned into yet another beautiful day. A day filled with plant propagation, seed collection and interesting chat, the last day of my volunteering month was completed. Loving every minute of the project work, further volunteering opportunities may be considered.

I woke up to face day 2 of the last week of my volunteering. Located at the Habitat Restoration Project of the Kangaroo Island Nationally Threatened Plant Programme, we are helping to prepare for the island's annual tree planting festival in July.

After a day that could rival the UK weather wise, we awoke to another cool, murky morning. Our task in Nelson - to rid Lower Glenelg National Park of non native pine trees and to GPS mark their locations. De-tented and fuelled up, we headed back to the same site as the day before.

Progress and Plans Being Made

The previous hot day made it difficult to sleep and I was also preoccupied over whether I had made a wrong decision in the East/West debate. Phone playing up again, poor signal and wifi unattainable after 6pm, I was unable to check my emails or even manage a short sentence in response to Dave due … Continue reading Progress and Plans Being Made
