We are getting a lot of good time outdoors between showers, and this is the best time to get any woody weeds or prunings arranged compactly so they start rotting as quickly as possible, reducing the mass of anything that might need to be disposed of before summer heat and drought.

We routinely place woody material on wet ground, avoid compacting the clay and making surfaces less slippery.

See more about this on our website at northshorewilds.co.nz...

The photo below shows one such path made from dried honeysuckle, covered by cut woody stems of Cape honey flower weed, then wood chips added the following year to even out the surface.

Much as we loved this little path across one of our restoration sites,, we knew it would become hidden as the native trees around it developed ... and that's exactly what's happened! But the path was a convenient place to put the cut woody weeds, suppressed kikuyu and other weeds, protected the restoration area from trampling, and was well-drained all year round.

~Women's New Balance Fresh Foam W860S11 Light Cyclone/Logwood Synthetic/Mesh shoes.
These are in as new condition.

I bought these, worn them once for around 30 minutes and as I had left it so late to trial them at home, it was too late to return to store.
The arch support is brilliant on one foot for me, but due to a spinal alignment issue, didn't work so well on the other foot.

These New Balance Fresh Foam W860S11 Light Cyclone/Logwood Synthetic/Mesh Women's Shoes have the following features:

Engineered mesh upper for a fit that feels uniquely yours
Brilliant cushioning for long distance comfort
A fresh foam midsole cushioning is precision engineered to deliver an ultra-cushioned, lightweight ride
Lightweight synthetic/mesh material
Medial post helps control pronation
Proven stability that keeps you on your feet
Ultra Heel design hugs the back of the foot for a snug, supportive fit
Blown rubber outsole provides durability

What is EPHEMERAL NATURE ART🌿🍂 and how it supports children's well-being and development?

Tamariki at our programs are encouraged to use natural loose parts to create their own play, as a result, an explosion of creativity happened yesterday at the Western Springs session, featuring EPHEMERAL NATURE ART🌿🍂

EPHEMERAL ART is a work of art that only lasts for a short amount of time, perhaps occurs once, and cannot be embodied in any lasting object. It can be a sculpture, performance art, or a temporary design such as mandalas.

Creating art inspired by nature helps children express themselves, tune into the natural world, and also to express their own appreciation of nature. Nature art can also enhance nature connection in a child, as one recent study found.
The beauty of ephemeral nature art is that it can teach children that not everything we value has to be material. Not everything we create has to be taken home or even returned to. The process of making art is fulfilling enough to be the focus at times. Creating ephemeral art teaches kids about the impermanence of life and nature, as the most beautiful things such as a winterscape or a sunset aren’t permanent. More than an image seen with our eyes, ephemeral artwork is an actual moment in time.
