Ongoing Projects
Pekapeka Wetland Repair
Cyclone Gabrielle has left this beautiful Wetland in total disarray. EIT students, Rotary and HDC are working together to repair the damage. This will take a long time but we are committed to make it happen. The Cycle Trail Magazine thanked us for the maintenance of the trail. Over the last few weeks mowing, weeding and spraying has been undertaken by our members and the trail at present looks nice. All this work is been completed during the week.
Waimarama Trail
Peter and Stuart are clearing blackberry on the Waimarama Road section of the trail that we adopted. The blackberry was starting to encroach on the trail and HB Regional Council asked us to clear it.
Firewood Splitting
Firewood project working bee. The firewood is for sale to anyone for a reasonable price.
Social Bike Rides
A part of our Club's weekly activities is a social bike ride around the fantastic Hawke's Bay Cycle Trails, which were originally funded by Rotary Clubs in Hawk's Bay in partnership with Napier City Council and Hawke's Bay Regional Council. Our Club holds weekly rides on Wednesday mornings which are open to anyone. We ride different trails to a suitable coffee stop and then back to our starting point. Thanks to Hawke's Bay Regional Council for helping maintain these beautiful trails for us all to enjoy.
