Leigh Scenic Reserve trackwork gets underway

John Gillon from

Fences have now gone up at Leigh Scenic Reserve, Bayview, in preparation for stage 1 of the work to upgrade the tracks to help prevent kauri dieback disease. There will also be 3 shoe-cleaning stations installed.
The project has been split into 5 stages, with stages 1-3 at Leigh Scenic Reserve and stages 4-5 at the Glenfield Coastal Walkway between Lynn Reserve and Manuka Reserve.
During the project, there will be two helicopter drops, during which the Lynn Reserve playground will be temporarily closed.

Below are the dates for the 5 stages of work, however there could be some overlap, particularly between stages 2 and 3:

Stage One: G7, G8, G9, G10 (from 11.10.21 – 04.12.21)
Stage Two: G11, G12, G13 (from 06.12.21 – 19.02.22)
Stage Three: G12, G13 (from 31.01.22 – 19.02.22)
Stage Four: F5, F4, F3, F1 (from 21.02.22 – 01.05.22)
Stage Five: E4 (from 18.04.22 – 01.05.22)

Work hours: 7:30am – 6:00pm, Monday – Saturday. No work on Sundays or public holidays.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
