Mangrove Pulling Event Saturday 28th May

Graham from Weymouth

Looking for volunteers this Saturday please to help pull out juvenile mangroves at the Keith Park foreshore in Roys Road Weymouth.Playground carpark. 2:30pm start. Have received sacks from the Council. Just need the people now.
I am asking for help as I now have arthritis in my knees so can longer manage them as I have done for the past 23 years.
Suggest closed footwear to be worn as it can be quite muddy in parts
The seedlings are easy to pull out as they are still quite young.
Help keep our coastline beautiful.
Any more info..0226762718

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
