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.

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
