There is more planting to be done on Wednesday as well as some weeding. Most of the planting will be undertaken by a team from Porirua City and the aim is to plant 2500 stems during the morning. This is an impressive start to this year's planting programme at the Forest and builds on last year's very successful planting.
Rotary Club members will undertake some weeding and tidying up of last year’s planting.

Anita Baker - Mayor of Porirua City·at Te Ara Piko pathway.

Rhondda Sweetman from Plimmerton Rotary

This morning Taku blessed the final stage of the Te Ara Piko pathway. It’s taken some time to get to where we are today, through planning, tireless fundraising from Plimmerton Rotary who have raised $1.3 million of the total $5.3m budget, a stunning effort and we thank them for that.

This morning Taku blessed the final stage of the Te Ara Piko pathway. It’s taken some time to get to where we are today, through planning, tireless fundraising from Plimmerton Rotary who have raised $1.3 million of the total $5.3m budget, a stunning effort and we thank them for that.
We now have this fantastic and much-loved walkway that is an impressive 5.25km from the Taylor Stace Cottage in Pauatahanui to Cambourne walkway carpark. It’s another example of what happens when a community organisation can take a literal journey with its local Council to create something that will endure for generations to come. Its accessibility for walkers and cyclists, young and old, means they can experience this beautiful and significant part of our city.
Along with Rotary, I want to thank Ngati Toa for their continuous support of the project; contractors Fulton Hogan; Tonkin & Taylor and the many consultants involved; it’s also important to recognise DoC, Forest & Bird, Guardians of Pauatahanui Inlet, PICT, Porirua Harbour & Catchment Community Trust for their input and support; and my mayoral predecessors, who have all backed this wonderful venture.

Our SPCA Pet of the Day is Opal, who is approximately ten months old.

"Hi there, my name is Opal and I am special girl looking a special home. If you are looking for a goofball dog then I'm the girl for you. I can be very silly, so if you are looking for a laugh then look no further. I am looking for a home with adults only and without small animals due to my quirks and behaviours shown previously. This kind of environment will help me to thrive in training and help me to settle into my new home. I always have a pep in my step and worm my way into peoples' hearts in very little time. I look forward to continuing training with my new owners and am sure to put a smile on your face at the end of a long day. I do come with a medical waiver that my new owners would need to be made aware of. If you think I am the gal for you, contact the canine team for more information."
