Egmont National Park showered with controversial 1080 pesticide.

Reporter Taranaki Daily News

Four helicopters were used to drop 61 tonnes of non-toxic pre-feed bait over 32, 000 hectares, covering Mt Taranaki's cone and Pouakai Range in the cereal pellets.

The bait is used to lure pests, and weather dependent, spreading of the toxic pellets will be underway within the next couple of weeks.

The pre-feed drop will close public access to Plateau carpark and the end of Egmont Rd, leading to Egmont National Park Visitors Centre for two days. It is said that all ski permit holders have been notified as early as possible about the aerial operation.

Are you affected? What do you think about this?

Bowen Therapy for Newborns and Babies

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

Bowen Therapy for newborns, babies and young children can support them after a traumatic birth or during difficult first weeks/months of life.

It can be helpful in the following situations:
- Discomfort
- Unsettled
- Crying/screaming a lot
- Vomiting or spilling
- Difficulty latching on
- Tummy pain, such as cramp, bloating, wind pain.
- Crying when being put in the car seat.

A Bowen session for your baby is quick, non-invasive and very gentle. There is no manipulation involved.
If you feel your child is just not happy and comfortable, try Bowen Therapy for them. Just a few sessions often can greatly improve their wellness.
