Trees for Canterbury at the Groynes- What a turnout!
and it keeps growing -pun intended
Thanks to Trees for Canterbury and the CCC Parks team for their coordination and continued work in our city's environment.
Chch came out in force yesterday, well over 1000 natives planted, all the mulch was there already and so were a few 'empties' with 2010 expiry dates on them that I picked up - Take your rubbish home with you & recycle!
keep an eye out for the last remaining planting days this year coming up on the TfC website/fb page or the CCC website as well.
fyi- we plant in the cooler months, not the hotter drier months for better survival rates of the plantings
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
