Opening of new track in Kauri Glen
Programme for Kauri Glen Track Opening
The Local Board plan to have the official opening on 28th April. However, vandals have torn down the barriers and already done some damage to artwork on the bridge. It made good sense to allow access through the track now. The access is an important link between two residential catchments and will once more, provide a more direct access for high school students when school resumes.
The new track is something that residents can take pride in, being of a standard worthy of showing your guests, and for organised walking or tour groups that will be more able to appreciate this significant natural, scenic resource.
See an open invitation to the opening below.

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.

Some Choice News!
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!
