One restoration area by Kate Pond, and visible from the public walkway, has been particularly successful, Dr David Norton says. The trees are now between 4 and 6 metres tall and their canopies are closing over.
"As the native trees grow they're providing a cool, shady habitat for other native species to flourish. We're seeing ferns, five-fingers, mahoe, coprosmas and other species that weren't planted, but are returning to the forest floor because the conditions are right. Native bird species, such as the korimako (bellbird), tūi and kererū (pigeon) are also flourishing in this restored and regenerating habitat."

Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.
A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.

The thousands of bouquets that garland trees and the pavement outside the Masjid Al Noor, adorn fences near the Linwood mosque and form a carpet of sorrow next to the Botanic Gardens remain a symbol of the city's grief, unity and will to remain unbowed by the tragedy.

Crusaders chief executive Colin Mansbridge said seeking the views of those directly affected by the shootings at two mosques on March 15 was not fair while the tragedy was still raw. Fifty worshippers were killed and dozens more injured when a gunman opened fire during afternoon prayers.
