**Trip Details:**

If you've hiked with me you have probably seen me rip out some invasive broom plants by the trail, usually on the ascents!
I love this park, and I figure we could give it a bit more love, bring along Snippers or Secateurs and do a little choppy-choppy of the broom along our way.

I'm not intending for this to be a big 'broom bash' event- just some peeps prepared to give back to the parks we recreate in- I think if we allow an extra hour or so to the hike time, we could make little dents in the broom along side the trail to give the native species a bit more of a chance.

(There may also be a Dean Beaulac inspired summit snack ![🎂](https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f382/72.png) )

Note: If torrential rains, trip will be postponed.
Polite Dogs are welcome, know the park rules for them.
