Planting For native Birds

David from Rangiora

As a recent arrival to the Waimakariri district I have noticed the lack of native birds in the district as well as Christchurch. So I was heartened to read this article www.stuff.co.nz... about how we can attract our native birds back by planting suitable trees to provide seasonal supplies of food.… View moreAs a recent arrival to the Waimakariri district I have noticed the lack of native birds in the district as well as Christchurch. So I was heartened to read this article www.stuff.co.nz... about how we can attract our native birds back by planting suitable trees to provide seasonal supplies of food.
Having lived in Picton for several years I saw what can be achieved with a combination of trapping and planting natives species. Picton now has an amazing dawn chorus! There are many other stories of similar projects throughout New Zealand. I think it would be amazing if as a district we start to plan native tree corridors for our native birds and see the results in the years to come.

Another great story!
Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.

While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.

Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.

“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.

While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”

Outdoors, it is 100 – and records must be kept of attendees at both indoor and outdoor events.

Social distancing at indoor venues has also increased, from 1 metre previously, to 2 metres under the new alert level 2.
