This could mean the closure or commercialisation of 10 Kauri Kids centres, including at Glenfield, Birkdale and Beach Haven.
Paula Gillon, Danielle Grant, Adrian Tyler, Dr Janet Tupou and I rushed to the meeting after a lengthy Kaipātiki Local Board meeting responding to the Mayor's many budget cuts, where we OPPOSED the Mayor's proposal on Kauri Kids and requested that the decision is put out to public consultation instead of being decided by Council staff, which is what is currently proposed.
Councillors will make a decision on Thursday 15 December on whether to allow council staff to proceed, put it out for consultation, or reject the proposal.

[Update - I am happy to say there has been a lot of interest and some happy customers already! For ongoing reference, I have made a business listing here on Neighbourly too - "North Shore Wilds"].

Are you looking to restore or create a harmonious wild native environment, without using chemicals?

From small suburban gardens to large forest and streamside areas, I use a chemical-free methodology of restorative weed management based on careful identification of plants, ecological assessment of landform, fauna, soil, and water flow, and 35 years of observation and experience.

Watch beauty emerge from an eyesore, through knowledgeable hand weeding, converting weed plant material to free compost, forming fertile seed beds and low-impact paths for the natural generation and protection of diverse healthy native plant communities.

For home service or tuition,
