Join the fun for another working bee at Woodall Park Pump Track this Saturday

Libby Boyd from Devonport Rotary Club

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to come on down to the Pump Track this Saturday morning the 12th March from 8 am for a few hours during the day through till about 3 pm. Gill and Gundry are giving it another big push with 3 machines working to spread metal and clay on the remaining sections of the track.

We need your help to spread out the metal, clear up and tidy tree branches and the site in general. Bring rakes, wheelbarrows and chainsaws, sunscreen and hats. a reminder to come along to the working bee this Saturday any time you can spare between 8 am and 3 pm. There will be a sausage sizzle running from 10 am to keep you going. You will see great progress on site

Be part of this great project that is shaping up to be a fun place for the young in our area.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
