This 4-year effort is approching completion, and were amidst the "big push" to get our NEW bush track completed before Christmas. We have had good turnouts for the last couple of months, and the track build is going gangbusters!

We have jobs for every interest (or degree of physical prowess!) - From weeding & planting, to digging out tree stumps (a favorite of young males in our experience!) or gorse & broom eradication.

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)
.
