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: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
