Huge sanctuary proposed for hills behind Wainuiomata
The Bird of the Year could be coming to the Hutt Valley.
The Greater Wellington Regional Council is considering a proposal that would fence-off 3350 hectares of native bush behind Wainuiomata to create a “threatened species sanctuary”.
According to a report that will go to a council committee on Thursday, the land in question, known as the Wainuiomata Water Catchment area, is one of the few places that meet the “very rare conditions” needed to support breeding kākāpō, including mature rimu trees.
The fenced area, home to the most pristine, ancient native forest in the lower North Island, would also support the recovery of other threatened species, including rowi kiwi, kōkako, and tīeke.
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
