Community Planting Day this Sunday at Western Springs Lakeside Te Waiōrea
Please join us for a community day, planting native trees in the forest at Western Springs Lakeside Te Waiōrea.
We'll start at 9.30am, rain or shine. Bring some closed-toe shoes, weather-protective clothing, a bottle of drinking water, and a spade and gloves if you have them.
Protect our parks from kauri dieback: Bring only clean footwear and equipment with you.
Meet us on the north side of the lake beside the weir (about 40 meters west of the public toilets).
Your hard work will help to grow this urban ngāhere (forest), creating new habitat for native birds and other wildlife in the park.
After the planting, stay and get to know others from the community and join us for some free kai!
If you would like to help out, please RSVP with the Community Liaison Team by emailing westernsprings@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or clc@kotahiprojects.com or calling 0272678818

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.

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
