Poll: Are you involved in conservation in your area?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A Waikato man has traded the gym for “getting up hills” to check trap lines, and is leading the crusade to bring back bird life to the Hakarimata ranges.

For the last three years Greg Townsend has been checking a network of traps across his land and the neighbouring Hakarimata DoC reserve in the hopes that one day, bird song will be heard again in the forest.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
