Are you looking to restore or create a harmonious wild native environment, without using chemicals?

From small suburban gardens to large forest and streamside areas, I use a chemical-free methodology of restorative weed management based on careful identification of plants, ecological assessment of landform, fauna, soil, and water flow, and 35 years of observation and experience.

Watch beauty emerge from an eyesore, through knowledgeable hand weeding, converting weed plant material to free compost, forming fertile seed beds and low-impact paths for the natural generation and protection of diverse healthy native plant communities.

Already ferries have been cancelled, there are power outages and drivers are being cautioned about driving in these conditions. From 3pm, a severe thunderstorm watch is in place, as well as a strong wind watch until 8pm on Friday night.

Here's what you need to know:
- All Pine Harbour ferry services have now been cancelled until further notice, due to weather conditions. The 7am, 8am & 9am Pine Harbour to Auckland services will be replaced by Bus.
- Areas of North Auckland around Te Arai are without power as of 6.20am on Friday. Some areas near the Auckland border have had power cuts since at least 3am on Friday.
- Drivers heading over the Auckland Harbour Bridge advised by Waka Kotahi NZTA to watch out for strong gusts and wind. Commuters should drive to the conditions, look out for full bridge closures, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge. High-sided vehicles and motorcyclists should avoid the Harbour Bridge and use the Western Ring Route on State Highways 16 and 18.

Keep up to date with weather warnings on the MetService website and be cautious if travelling this Auckland Anniversary weekend.
