Rotary Forest of Peace and Remembrance project.
Past-President Bill gave a brief report on the Rotary Forest of Peace and Remembrance project. He said that it is now really starting to take shape. Three sides of the northern half of Plimmerton Domain have now been planted with about 11,000 stems since commencing in October 2020. There were 25 volunteers on the job on a magnificent Saturday morning - 13 Rotarians from Plimmerton and Porirua Clubs plus a bunch of enthusiasts from Whitby Scouts and some local community supporters too. Once again, Ron Lucas sped up the hole digging by pre-drilling with his trusty post-hole auger. The team planted about 500 Carex plants. They also assembled about 700 cardboard sleeves and stakes for protecting some of the trees planted last month as shown here in the photo. The volunteers really appreciated the home baking from President Kay. Bill also mentioned his appreciation to Rachel McClellan from PCC who not only works flat out on the planting days but also coordinates all the logistics of getting plants and protectors to the planting site from the PCC nursery.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
