He said he is ready to seize the opportunity and be an example that youth can make great councillors. He believes in representing young people in the region who feel like they haven't been represented before.
Do you think he's got what it takes to respond to issues we are facing as communities? Are younger councillors the way of the future?

L’Anson Bush Reserve is situated near Te Puna between SH2, Loop Road and Armstrong Road. It was planted in 1987 by Tauranga Forest & Bird, and is managed by WBOP District Council. This lovely bush reserve has a 2 km walking track around a small lake.
In recent years many invasive weeds have taken hold and are spoiling the beauty. Manual eradicating is sometimes the only option. Monthly working bees are now being held at I'Anson Reserve every third Thursday of the month for weed control.
We invite people to come and help us on Thursday 19 Sept, 17 Oct, 21 Nov from 9.30 am – noon. Please gather at the car park off Loop Road, off SH2, close to Te Puna Roundabout. Please bring suitable footwear and personal clothes, hat, gloves, sunblock, drink, food etc if you wish, and preferably some hand tools too.
Regular volunteers for traplines are also being sought. It will take approximately 1 hour a month. All equipment supplied.
If you have any creative ideas on how to attract corporates or groups to come along for work days at the reserve to help achieve our weed free goal, please get in touch. Please share this invite with anyone you know who may be interested.
This project is a partnership between Forest and Bird and the QEII trust and the community.
Car pool available from Katikati.
See you at l’Anson!

Background - how to make a Forest
27 years on, I’Anson 'Bush' Reserve is beginning to live up to its name.
In the late 1980’s, 10 hectares of land was donated by the I’Anson family to the Queen Elizabeth II Trust for the purpose of creating a sanctuary for both people and nature. Shortly after, with lots of planning and logistical scheming by many parties including Tauranga Forest and Bird, 1000’s of native trees and ferns were planted by 100’s of local volunteers.
Today the reserve is transformed from a barren paddock to a burgeoning native forest, complete with majestic lakeside Kahikatea glade. Prolific self-seeding of natives under the canopy is a sure sign that nature is taking charge of the future. Birdsong is increasing every year. The location of I’Anson Reserve in Loop Road, Te Puna, makes it an important wild-link from the Kaimai’s to the coast.
Unfortunately, the agreeable Bay of Plenty climate has meant that non-desirable invasive plant species have also become established. But volunteers are working away at eliminating them, with help from contractors.
“It is satisfying work” say the volunteers “watching the subtle changes in the canopy as the Taiwan Cherry and Privet trees are dealt to”. Exotic Palms are also becoming established under the canopy but make themselves obvious by their form. They are easy to remove to make way for the endemic Nikau.

How beautiful yellow is!”
Yellow holds an unusual place in history. It has been held in the highest regard as a symbol of the powerful sun and rich gold, but has also been considered the colour of outcasts and vagrants.
Yellow was one of the first colours to be used in art – cave paintings depicted in yellow have been found in caves in Europe dating back to approximately 25,000 years old. The pigment came from the earth – a coloured clay called ochre that could be yellow or red. Yellow ochre contains hydrated iron hydroxide, with a distinct gold colour.
The Egyptians and Romans loved yellow, using it to represent much-prized gold in their art. The Egyptians used a yellow mineral called orpiment in tomb paintings, not knowing the arsenic compound was highly toxic.

To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.
However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:
