Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November and we will swap your weed with a lovely native plant. We will have specimens of pest animals that are threatening our native species and will provide trapping demonstrations. Loads of fun for the kids! We will have a catchment model at our stall to play with to learn about sediment, streams, gullies and wetlands.
Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance. See you there.

President Bill extended a very warm vote of thanks to Allan and Barbara (and their helpers) for organising and running the excellent evening to celebrate the running of the Melbourne Cup. The race was exciting although marred by the news that pre-race favourite, Anthony Van Dyck, had to be euthanised after tragically sustaining a fractured fetlock during the race.
Pictures often tell the story better than words, so here are a few moments captured during the evening. Apart from the drinking, chatting and watching, Allan did a wonderful job on the Chocolate Wheel.

He heads a group of five neighbours wanting to buy almost 6000 square metres of public land at Motukaraka Point, which has views over Pauatahanui Inlet and backs on to their properties.
The consortium values the property at $180,000 while the council has a valuation of $600,000.
A local real estate agent reckons it is worth over $1 million.

The section of Ōtaki Gorge Road known as Blue Bluff remains unstable and is likely to remain closed for the peak summer period.
As well as a camping ground, it is also a major entrance point for trampers and hunters accessing the Tararua Forest Park.
The slip, 12km in from SH1, is a major one. Kāpiti Coast District Council Access and Transport Manager Glen O’Connor says expert geotechnical advice is that further slipping could occur at any time, and may be extensive.
Engineers are waiting for the slip to move before deciding what the best long term solution is.
The Department of Conservation is working to find alternative public access to the huts and walks in the forest park and is expected to have options for trampers by summers.
