What this episode covers

We first brought you the story of the Okarito Gorsebusters six years ago. That's when the call out went out for volunteers to help clear gorse along a lagoon in the area, in return for their help they would get a six-day kayaking adventure, free food and accommodation. Fast forward to 2026 and now the event has grown from a small working bee with mates, into a major event, in fact this year, organisers had to turn people away Okarito Gorsebusters organiser Baz Hughes chats to Jesse.
