I enjoyed taking two school groups on guided bush walks around the lake at Rotokare.
The rain came down and the track was muddy in places but the children from St Josephs in Stratford and a number of parents coped well!
There are lots of really interesting trees that are worth identifying on this walk.
They include mahoe,kawakawa,rangiora,lancewood and our only native palm the nikau.
Also magnificant tawa,pukatea and kahikatea are beautiful trees throughout the swampier areas. The range of ferns is also noteworthy as well as the pretty copper and green leaves of the parataniwha.
