Te Puhinui Big Clean
Hi south Auckland neighbours,
Want to make a difference in your community?
Bring the family down to Auckland Botanic Gardens in Totara Heights on
Saturday for the Te Puhinui Big Clean.
Volunteers can tidy the area from Totara Park to the foreshore from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm.
The rain date is May 22.
The big clean up is earmarked to boost the health of Puhinui Stream and create awareness of the treasures in people's backyard.
The day will end with a sausage sizzle to thank the volunteers.
Also planned are educational activities centred on keeping waterways clean, recycling and regeneration of local paths and walkways.
This event is run by the Beautification Trust and Panuku Development Auckland, together with Citycare, local businesses, and environmental partners, with the support of Mana Whenua.

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