12 Days of ACC Christmas - Reply

Hi everyone, I wanted to reply to this because if any of you watch these, they are incredibly funny. Yes we are in the "Silly Season" where everything can go hey wire and we have organising families to come over, but also to remember that sometimes after the Christmas/New Years Period, we all need to be laid back and relax a little.
I hope to all our Neighbourly family and friends that everyone will have a
HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR IN 2019.
Ps I don't know if any would be interested sometime in the New Year but we could have like a Neighbourly Community Outing somewhere. I don't have a car as such but surely someone could give me a ride. I mean we could go out to a cafe, meet up with some of you somewhere in West Auckland or wherever, hopefully not to far in Auckland.
Just as a suggestion. Now I know that people will have work commitments probably in January or the start of February, so I am pretty easy going in the January period at the moment.
Would do people think? Let me know and we can organise something.

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!
