Update on Te Otamanui Walkway
On the 23rd of February, another 250 metres of the pathway was gravelled. Community Group volunteers, who placed the 80 tonnes of gravel, included Gordon McLachlan, Graham McBride, Brian Palmer, Donald Sam, Noel Smith, John Stock, assisted by Sam Furniss on his digger.
With the previous section that was gravelled in January, this has seen the finishing of an additional half kilometre walkway of already this year.
The Te Kowhai Community Group anticipates that the next section, on the former ‘Henton’ property, about 600 metres, will be operational within six months. This will finally link the path from The War Memorial Hall to the path already formed in the Coombes Road area.
Look out for a call for volunteer-planters in May or June - 3500 native trees, grasses and shrubs will be placed in the area of the path at that time.

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!
