A group of Year 13 students at Akaroa area school are coming together to restore the
reserve at Hammond Point, Te Umu Te Rehua, in Akaroa Harbour.

The students were concerned about climate change and wanted to take on a practical project.

“It’s a great opportunity to be able to take action locally and hopefully get the community involved with us," student Lochlyn Gilberd said.

The school has signed an agreement with the Department of Conservation which gives the school a management role in looking after the reserve.

This week, the students will lead a junior class of Year 7 and 8 students to plant twenty native trees at the reserve.

The students will become Kiatiaki (guardians) of the reserve.

Great thinking

Nicole from Halswell

Thought I would share - I recently started a BYO fabric service where people can go to their local craft store and purchase a small cut of fabric and I will turn it into masks.

I was approached to turn this pillowcase into masks for a woman and her daughter. They turned out amazing!

Great to see… View more

Hey neighbours,

Sightings of several seal species roaming around the Canterbury coastline has prompted a safety reminder from the Department of Conservation.

Leopard seals, like the one pictured at Waimari Beach over the weekend, should never be approached, DOC says. They are aggressive and agile, and can inflict severe injuries to anyone that ventures too close.

They are impressive to look at, but a 20m distance should be kept and dogs kept on a leash as leopard seals can, and will, defend themselves vigorously.

If you see a leopard seal, take some photos or a short video and contact Leopard Seals NZ on 0800 536 7273.
