Workday at Alice Eaves Bush
The weather cleared in time to allow Friends of Alice Eaves Bush to carry out their first workday for 2018. The team concentrated on clearing weeds along the border of the boardwalk at the western edge of the park. Earlier plantings of native trees had become a bit overgrown with weeds so a good cleanup here was warranted. The team also managed to haul a footbridge out of the Nukumea Stream. This footbridge had washed downstream in an earlier flood.
Friends of Alice Eaves Bush would respectfully remind anyone using the park to remember to spray their footwear before entering the reserve. Keep to the paths. Keep dogs on leads.This is to prevent the spread of kauri dieback. If this disease infects kauri trees in the park it would most likely result in Alice Eaves Bush being closed to the public.
Anyone interested in joining the group to help in the park would be most welcome. The group meets at the park on the first Saturday of each month, weather permitting

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
