Over the weekend, there were two planting days organised by Trees For Canterbury and Christchurch City Council.

Both the Halswell Quarry planting day as well as the Charlesworth Street Reserve Community Planting & Gala Day were a success.

Members of the public gathered on Saturday 20 May at Halswell Quarry wetland planting to restore the native wetland swales into the park.
On Sunday, a second planting day was held at Charlesworth Street Reserve on to establish native trees and shrubs, supplied by Trees For Canterbury and the Christchurch City Council’s Regional Parks Team .
Charlesworth Reserve is being gradually developed to re-establish estuary-edge ecosystem features such as salt-meadow, salt-marsh and coastal bush that are now either very rare around the estuary or non-existent”.

Support for the project, so far, has come from Trees for Canterbury, Christchurch City Council, and the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust.

A message from Tenants Protection Association (Christchurch)

Housing children well is essential. Did you know ...

Seven out of ten children in poverty in this country live in rental housing, and most of them are in private market rental properties, not in social housing like HNZC or community housing.

Children living in private rentals are three times more likely to be in houses with major dampness and mould problems than those in owner-occupied homes.

On average owner occupiers spend five years in their house. An average rental tenancy is two years.

Thirty five per cent of students between Year 9 and 11 who moved twice or more achieved NCEA Level 2 compared with 83% of students who had not moved.

When working with families, children almost universally tell us of their extreme sense of relief not having to change schools.

Ok so I know these awesome ladies Rose and Tina
who do awesome things like teaching people with disabilities crafts that use recycled plastic bags. Their students love it and so do Rose and Tina.

The latest project - sleeping mats for the homeless, they are hygienic, waterproof and keep them off the cold ground through winter. Only problem ... not enough plastic bags.

If you can help them please drop your unwanted plastic bags down to St Ambrose Church, 309 Breezes Road any day but Wed. Rose and Tina will love you for it❣️
