Western Springs Community Planting Day
Conservation Volunteers has partnered with the Waitematā and Ōrākei Local Boards to plant native trees around some of our local waterways.
On the 12th of June we will be planting at Western Springs to help improve the water quality of the lake, and to provide food and habitat for our native species. Planting will go from 10am-12pm followed by a free sausage sizzle!
What to bring: Gumboots or closed toe shoes, appropriate long sleeved clothing and trousers, favourite spade (if you have one), gardening gloves (optional). Some spades and gloves will also be provided.
Conservation Volunteers can also transport a limited number of volunteers to the project from our office in Eden Terrace.
Bookings are essential. If you would like to make a booking or for more information please contact info@cvnz.org.nz or call 0800 567686

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
