Afternoon Neighbours!

A new pest control operation will begin in the Hunua Ranges, targetting 21,500 hectares of land.

The aerial operation will begin with a drop of non-toxic bait, to get the pests interested, followed by a drop of baits containing 1080.

Auckland Council's Environmental Services General Manager Rachel Kelleher said the ranges are home to many of New Zealand's threatened species and their focus is on protecting them.

"Many are vulnerable to introduced pests and diseases. However, through this collaborative work, significant gains and successes have been seen in the ranges over the last seven years, with many of our threatened species beginning to bounce back particularly our native kōkako".

The bait is poisonous to dogs, so they should be supervised at all times while in the ranges.

Being retired may mean you have more time to do the things you've always wanted to do. Or you might want to look for new ideas to do things you never knew you'd enjoy. In any case, there's a range of opportunities you can enjoy in retirement.

Guide to Volunteering
Organizations recognise that older people bring a wealth of skills and expertise to volunteering. By passing on your skills and learning you can make a difference to people’s lives. Volunteering is also a good way to make new friends and improve general levels of health and fitness.

Become a coach or mentor
Older people's skills and experiences are highly valued in communities. You can put your work experience to good use by becoming a mentor or coach. In return you can develop your own interpersonal skills and remain active and involved in your community.

If you’re aged 60 and over, value your independence but want greater security, come and have a look at the superb properties we have to offer
