• Didymo / boat & gear washing
  Sadly, didymo is well established in Lake Ruataniwha. It is now more important than ever for schools to carefully wash all their on-water equipment. This includes any socks and footwear that goes in that Lake. Don't forget "Check, clean, dry". SIRI has well-established provisions for washing boats and Rangers will be on hand to oversee the process. All boats will need to be washed upon arrival at Lake Ruataniwha (this a requirement for lake usage imposed by Meridian Energy).
