Our parks ARE open
Our parks ARE open. Signs like these are confusing, but they are actually referring to specific assets with the parks not the parks themselves...
All vehicle gates in parks should be closed to stop vehicles entering, but you can still walk in. Some specific bush tracks have been closed where kauri are at risk, but all others are open.
All playgrounds are closed (and are not being cleaned). Please do not use the drinking fountains, exercise equipment, BBQs, seats, picnic tables, basketball courts, etc. COVID-19 can be transmitted through touching surfaces.
Stay 2m from everyone at all times, both walking to/from and around the park.

🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
Do you think you know the answer?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
