Ok so I have been getting at least a couple of hours a day done on the wiki pages.Leigh and I caught up for an informal meeting on Tomahawk beach yesterday and discussed some good ideas for some more activities. I have spent a bit of time responding to comments about the language on some of the pages being a bit too elementsperformancecriteriay,so I am correcting this.I have also added some more video for botanic nomenclature and weeds.And I have been trying to work just on activities although I must admit i can kill a bit of time looking for existing resources on the innernet which i think are valuable.For example, the following sites on how to use dichotomous keys are fantastic!And another good example.A lot of the resources are american but in my opinion this is not an issue as the exercise is the goal and many plants featured in the interactive keys are found in New Zealand anyway.So don’t be hatin.I say this cause a common complaint among hortys can be that so many good reference books on plant identification have a northern hemisphere lean but hey just remember that spring is fall and summer is winter and don’t fall down the rabbit hole.Finally, have a go at these exercises and see how ya go!Oh yah and here are some activities for hand tools: Identify and use hand tools ,Safety equipment for safe use of hand tools and small machinery
