Forest Restoration Day Sunday 14th April - Weiti River Stillwater/Okura

Geoff Reid from Friends of Okura Bush (FOOB)

Come along and join the community for a couple of hours of destroying some serious invasive plants that are threaten the remnant forests of Auckland.

Over the past few years as a community we have really transformed this place. 100s of invasive weeds have been removed and replaced with important native trees that provide forest cover, food for native birds and soil retention to protect the marine environment.

This is a great opportunity to learn about the revegetation process and what we can all do to protect the last of the remnant stands of indigenous forest that still exists in Aotearoa.

Sunday 14th April. 9am til noon. Bring a plate for shared lunch afterwards. (optional)

1 Duck Creek, Stillwater.

Hope to see you there ;)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
