Tree Planting Woodall Park Pump Track

Libby Boyd from Devonport Rotary Club

Sunday 22nd and Sunday 29th Sep
9 am to 12 midday.

Bring the kids and they can plant their very own trees on their very own special pump track.

Brett Garea from BGE Environments has kindly donated plants for us to plant on the day. Devonport Rotary will also supply plants purchased from our very own local RTH Native Plant Nursery. These plants are required to fill a few gaps and help stabilise the sides of the jumps.

Make it a family day! We encourage you to bring along your children so that they can plant their very own trees in this popular community space.

Please bring along your spades for digging and gardening gear such as rakes, weed eaters and clippers to trim the weeds and groom the track.

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!
