These seedlings, if not checked, will soon become a problem to remove and an ongoing issue for the historic graves. We are seeking keen volunteers to help assist us removing these seedlings on a weekly basis.
All you need is a pair of gardening gloves, hat, water, your own snacks and to arrive at The Shelter in the cemetery by 9am. We'll work until about 12pm but your contribution need not be all of that time.
If you have any questions, please email us at secretary@friendsofkaroricemetery.co.nz, otherwise just turn up on the day 🙂

Council's strange priorities...

Neil from Thorndon

This image shows paid Council employees as they harass naughty drivers, it also shows severe road damage in the foreground.
It's clear where Mayor Whanau's priorities lie and it isn't on fixing the roads.
By the way, I'm a cyclist.

At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.

The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.

Watch Russell's story and click to read the full story.
