EcoFest North & COVID 19
Kia Ora koutou! Most of our events are going ahead as planned at this stage, and are taking place outdoor, mainly in nature, in a small group setting. We would like to reassure you that we support all actions to protect community health and closely monitor the Ministry of Health guidelines about COVID-19. If an event is cancelled, we inform all who registered and update our website. If planning to attend an event, please follow current recommendations, including:
- not to attend an event if you are feeling unwell, have been in, or transited through countries with high infection rates, or have been in close contact with someone confirmed with COVID-19 in the past 14 days
- be conscious to reduce touching your face, shaking hands, close contact greetings
practice good hygiene – cough into your elbow, wash hands for 20 seconds before eating, and after using the bathroom or touching surfaces that are used by many.

Some Choice News!
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!
Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works

The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
