EcoFest West kicks off
Dear neighbours, did you know that EcoFest West kicks off on Saturday 20 March? There are more than 140 events celebrating our environment in West Auckland next month, and many of them are free or low-cost and whānau friendly.
Are there any eco skills you’d like to pick up? You could learn about foraging, bike maintenance, upcycling or more, or just enjoy nature with a guided walk or bike ride.
Visit www.ecofest.org.nz for more details. Thanks to the Henderson-Massey, Waitākere Ranges and Whau local boards for supporting the festival.
See you there!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
