Trees for Canterbury at the Groynes- What a turnout!
and it keeps growing -pun intended
Thanks to Trees for Canterbury and the CCC Parks team for their coordination and continued work in our city's environment.
Chch came out in force yesterday, well over 1000 natives planted, all the mulch was there already and so were a few 'empties' with 2010 expiry dates on them that I picked up - Take your rubbish home with you & recycle!
keep an eye out for the last remaining planting days this year coming up on the TfC website/fb page or the CCC website as well.
fyi- we plant in the cooler months, not the hotter drier months for better survival rates of the plantings
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
