Extra Working Bee Waiwhakareke Natural Heritage Park
Dear Friends of Waiwhakareke
and all Hamilton Residents
Your help is needed.
With the growth of grass with spring, there is a need to hold some extra working bees to release the 2020 plantings. An extra working bee will be held on Saturday, 14th November, with an earlier start of 8 am-11 am. We will meet in the Car Park opposite the Zoo Entrance.
Bring sturdy footwear, and gloves. Leg protection is advisable (trousers rather than shorts) and a long sleeved shirt.
Also bring: Food and drink for your morning tea.
Keep an eye on our FaceBook page for any additional notices, and for a report and photos of the day.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

PM says the ‘war on farming’ is over, at Fieldays’ Mystery Creek

Luxon’s main message was that farmers are not villains, they are “partners” of the Government and the saviours of the New Zealand economy.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
