Annual Native Tree Planting Day - 8:30am Sunday, 16th June
Our branch is holding our Annual Planting at 8:30am Sunday, 16th June.
We will be planting out a section of the Irongate Stream which feeds into the Karamu Stream. This project is being done in conjunction with Hawkes Bay Regional Council and forms part of a wider strategy to connect the mountains to the sea and provide pathways for our native birds and animals to travel across the region.
The address is 30 Longlands Road East, Hastings.
If you would like to come long and help please register by emailing us at HastingsHavelockNorth.Branch@forestandbird.org.nz.

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.

New neighbour
Okay folks, if you feed your animals outside, you might want to rethink that. We have new nocturnal neighbours, inside Havelock North.
There is a very well fed brush tail possum up the pōhutukawa tree in my garden.
I don’t know where it’s come in from, but it’s in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
I’ll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.
