Chatswood Reserve tracks open!

John Gillon from

The Chatswood Reserve tracks are now complete and open!
The tracks have been upgraded to a standard to help prevent kauri dieback, including new bridges, boardwalks and box steps.
The route is now different. There is now a stand-alone connection between Fitzpatrick Place and Mappin Place, which includes a lookout.

The remainder of the tracks can be accessed from Portsea Place, Langstone Place, Blundell Place and Homewood Place, and connect through to Kauri Point Centennial Park and Chelsea Estate Heritage Park (the exit to the gravel pit carpark is closed while it is being upgraded).

These photos and map have been provided by the project manager.

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!
