We suggest you bring the items shown in bold:

- thorn & waterproof gloves (see notes below)
- secateurs and/or folding saw
- suitable hat & clothing for conditions – we recommend long sleeves and trouser legs to prevent scratches from “cutty grass” or nips from the occasional bee or wasp

- Re gloves: we recommend when working in the wetland the sort that have plastic or rubber all over – they come in blue, red, green etc and cost from about $5 to $7
