Sneak peek at Chatswood Reserve tracks
Here's a sneak peek of the upgraded tracks at Chatswood Reserve which should be open in the next couple of weeks.
The tracks have been upgraded to a standard to help prevent kauri dieback, including new bridges, boardwalks and box steps. There is also a great new lookout between Fitzpatrick Place and Mappin Place.
Last week local board member Erica Hannam, long-time volunteer David Roberts and I were given a walkthrough by the contractors and it's looking fantastic. Definitely one to check out once it opens.

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!
