The North Shore Wilds website has just been launched at northshorewilds.co.nz. The link is in the "Read more" button below.
There is a lot more information still to be added to the North Shore Wilds site. We will now be able to describe our services fully, with some illustrated examples of our work.
The spelling ... north shore wilds ... is easy, but remember, if you have to type it into a search, it's "wilds"...plural... and why, you ask?
Well, we are not proposing that the entire North Shore should be wild... (living in trees can be inconvenient)... just that our locally native species and the character of our local wild nature are conserved, recognised and enjoyed, and given a place in our gardens where possible.
"Wilds" is a term used informally to cover plants whose ancestry is entirely wild; ie they grew wild from wild parent plants, or were cultivated from seed collected from known wild plants in the ecological area in which they are to be planted...ie they are "ecosourced".
Our little plant nursery ecosources only from the North Shore, so our plants are "North Shore wilds", with the genetic characteristics that evolved to make them perfect for their North Shore situation.
Seedling photos below are of kauri, Psuedopanax (five-finger) and tanekaha, and were taken on a North Shore Wilds project in the Hillcrest area.
The pink flower is kotukutuku / NZ native tree fuchsia /Fuchsia excorticata, on an old tree which has overhung Kaipatiki Stream in Glenfield for several decades, (photo 2018 by Jacqui Geuz, iNaturalist.nz.org).

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them."
Happy Anzac Day!
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
From the poem 'For the fallen' by Laurence Binyon

Unfortunately due to a number of dead trees and branches that could fall across the boardwalk, the Smiths Bush has been temporarily closed as a precautionary health and safety measure. It is suspected that the trees have succumbed to recent weather events.
Auckland Council is now working with Treescape on a plan to deal with the dead trees and have the park open as soon as possible, however it may be closed for around four weeks 🙁

You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.
Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
