At first, it seemed to suck. As comes the role of being a Rover, we get to complete our moot “Service”. For the moot, we got to garden. 8 hectares of land. There is more to Woodside (current site) about 5 minutes away from where we are now. The property was sold to a conservation group. This property is infested with a European weed called Brooms.
Brooms can be tini-tiny, or twelve foot monsters. Our jobs where to clear it, poisons it, and call it a safe area for the unique native plants and animals to thrive.
Aside from the 37 degree weather, unbearable sun, and the bugs, I actually enjoyed the service project. True fully, I would have rather done some trail maintenance or building, maybe some campfire pit improvements, built a fence or picnic area, maybe even lashed together a bridge for the area. Instead, I got to do a World Conservation job.
Over all, we floored the rangers, and completed what they estimated to be 5 days worth of work in one day. Win.
