Sharon Davies (commonly known as Shaz) was born in Hamilton with a physical disability almost 60 years ago. She moved to Auckland at the age of 18 months. She lived at the Wilson Home in Takapuna until the age of 17. Since then, she has prided herself on living independently and became a staunch westie in the early 80’s. She is passionate about people and her local community. She is an active member on various local committees and trusts. They include: Celebrating Swanson, Corbans Estate Art Centre, Glen Eden RSA, Greater Glen Eden Network, Glen Eden Railway Station Trust, Ranui Community Centre, Swanson Railway Trust, Te Whau Environmental Pathway Trust, West Auckland Forest & Bird and West Auckland Riding for the Disabled.
Up until June 2021, Shaz worked full time as PA to the Waitakere Ranges Local Board in Glen Eden. She chose to leave her job to focus on her community work. She was awarded ACC’s Spirit of Attitude and Supreme Award in 2012, received a Queen’s Service Medal for services to the community in June 2013, wrote her life story in 2018 and became a Justice of the Peace in 2019.
A couple of her biggest bugbears as a full-time wheelchair user include access to public spaces, public transport and the misuse of mobility parking. In her presentation on Thursday 11 May, she will share some of the brave conversations she’s had to have plus some personal insights living life to its fullest albeit having to navigate an inaccessible environment. She will also have copies of her book available for sale at a reduced cost of $20 each.

The North Shore Wilds website has just been launched at northshorewilds.co.nz. The link is in the "Read more" button below.
There is a lot more information still to be added to the North Shore Wilds site. We will now be able to describe our services fully, with some illustrated examples of our work.
The spelling ... north shore wilds ... is easy, but remember, if you have to type it into a search, it's "wilds"...plural... and why, you ask?
Well, we are not proposing that the entire North Shore should be wild... (living in trees can be inconvenient)... just that our locally native species and the character of our local wild nature are conserved, recognised and enjoyed, and given a place in our gardens where possible.
"Wilds" is a term used informally to cover plants whose ancestry is entirely wild; ie they grew wild from wild parent plants, or were cultivated from seed collected from known wild plants in the ecological area in which they are to be planted...ie they are "ecosourced".
Our little plant nursery ecosources only from the North Shore, so our plants are "North Shore wilds", with the genetic characteristics that evolved to make them perfect for their North Shore situation.
Seedling photos below are of kauri, Psuedopanax (five-finger) and tanekaha, and were taken on a North Shore Wilds project in the Hillcrest area.
The pink flower is kotukutuku / NZ native tree fuchsia /Fuchsia excorticata, on an old tree which has overhung Kaipatiki Stream in Glenfield for several decades, (photo 2018 by Jacqui Geuz, iNaturalist.nz.org).

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them."
Happy Anzac Day!
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
From the poem 'For the fallen' by Laurence Binyon
