The Poolburn and Omakau kids loved both the river electric fishing and bugs, as well as the amazing marine creatures. The evening session with the Omakau District Lions Club doing the barbeque, Mr whippy and the displays including the Ida Valley Catchment, Ben Gillispies plants and Rogers kowhai seeds was awesome.

The Thomsons Catchment Project Facebook page is now live and up and running. I’d encourage you to like it and share it with others. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087104194979  I’ll be on the look out for good stories, photos and videos to share regularly on the page, so don’t hesitate to send me photos of things like trees, plants, animals etc that you might think is of interest.
