The team behind The Waimate Trail are putting the call out for native plants.
Project organiser Jo Sutherland said the native plants would help stabilise the bank which would preserve the trail for future generations.
“And they help with bird corridors.”
Mrs Sutherland said the trail was open to Arno Hall, and — as it was flat and gravelled the whole way — it could make a good outdoor adventure in the upcoming school holidays.
She said not only was the section flat, and kid-friendly but it was well signposted.
Signs were installed earlier this month.
“It is approximately 10km from Waimate township to Arno Hall, so a 20km return trip.”
For smaller children, she said they could begin the track at Sutherland’s Bush.
“It is all flat, and all dry.”
While construction was continuing on the rest of the track, community groups were busy creating sculptures to be installed along the trail.
One group was engraving distances on stones which would be placed along the path.
