Working Bee Woodall Park Pump Track, Devonport

Libby Boyd from Devonport Rotary Club

Hi to parents of kids who use the pump track and people who like to help in the community.

Please help us tidy up the long grass around all the native plants and make the area a lot safer for those using this popular fun activity for kids in your community.

Rotary volunteers need you to spare an hour or so on Sunday 18th Feb from 9 am to 11 am to help with a tidy-up of the track.

Bring along your gardening gear, rakes, shovels, weed eater, and clippers to trim the weeds and groom the track. Hat and sunscreen are advised.

Help from your kids is welcomed and encouraged.

YOUR REWARD - a complimentary coffee and good company across at Narrowneck Cafe after the job is done.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
