Hi lovely neighbours,

We started a kombucha business in October 2020, and as you all know Covid-19 has affected sales of small businesses including ours. We've also seen a drop in shops buying our drinks and the last blow was having a big event we were attending cancelled, so we have all this surplus kombucha and water kefir available. We would love everyone to try it and enjoy the benefits these health drinks have to offer. Our kombucha and water kefir won this year's Outstanding New Zealand Food Producer Awards and received a silver medal. We know it tastes great, but it would be a shame for all these yummy drinks not be tasted. So we are selling cases at $28 (6pk) and $55 (12pk) until stocks last. Our drinks are premium, low sugar, vegan and 100% natural. Try it for yourself! You can order online at www.isiko.co.nz... or email sales@isiko.co.nz with your order and arrange for a pickup or free delivery. We would really appreciate your support and thank you for buying local.

Price: $28

Vandals chop down and poison 23 sacred trees and shrubs in Takapuna

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Kia ora koutou. Vandals have allegedly poisoned and cut down dozens of native trees and shrubs of huge significance to Māori near Takapuna Beach.

Kia ora koutou. Vandals have allegedly poisoned and cut down dozens of native trees and shrubs of huge significance to Māori near Takapuna Beach.

Around 23 trees and shrubs at Te Uru Tapu (The Sacred Grove) at the northern end of the beach were discovered to have been vandalised during a regular inspection by Auckland Council’s senior urban forest specialist on Tuesday.

The grove of ancient pōhutukawa trees is of high significance to mana whenua, with the trees and vegetation in the area protected by the Auckland Unitary Plan.

A section of the grove has been fenced off since June 2018, due to the risk of trees falling onto a boardwalk below. It appeared someone had deliberately entered the restricted area to cut down the trees, which included karo, karaka, nīkau, tōtara and coprosmas. Drill holes were also found at the base of three mature karo trees, which suggested they had been poisoned.

None of the trees are expected to survive. Auckland Council has launched an investigation and is asking anyone with information to email sacredgrove@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz. Click 'read more' for the full story.
