Kiwis have already put up more than half the cash needed to bring two of Christchurch’s highest peaks into public ownership and turn them into a conservation park.

The Press has teamed up with the Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust on its Te Ahu Pātiki project, to help raise enough money to buy a 500-hectare block between Mt Herbert and Mt Bradley.

The aim is to make sure the public will always have access to a sprawling network of popular walking tracks, and to let the whole block return to native bush.

A Givealittle page was launched this morning to help the trust overcome its last hurdle. Click the links below to read the full story and donate.

Zhang Wang’s vegetable garden destroyed on Monday when her landlord, Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (ŌCHT), removed it without warning.

It said neighbours had raised concerns about the size of the garden and access to a washing line.

Wang had lovingly tended the garden at her Addington social housing unit for the past 10 years. She grew 14 kinds of vegetables and 13 varieties of rare Chinese herbs. One small patch of Chinese radish remains.

ŌCHT has “unreservedly apologised” for not telling Wang it planned to bring the digger in on Monday, but it stands by its decision to turn the garden into grass.

However, on Wednesday, ŌCHT tenancy operations manager Martin Pearce said the trust wanted to make things right and raised beds would be installed at the end of this week.

Four thousand primary children perform physical jerks at Lancaster Park, on April 10, 1940.
Here the girls go through their drills, demonstrating surprising precision for so many pupils from so many schools. The open-air movement has highlighted the need for physical fitness training and the virtues of outdoor activity. Schools have responded with regular drill sessions and outdoor games. With increasing numbers of children seen to be destined for sedentary lifestyles, and with the British Empire at war with the Axis forces, fitness and hardiness are being strongly promoted.
