Green Corridors Free Community Event Sunday 14th July 2019
Come along to our Community Event with sausage sizzle at 11am on Sunday 14th July 2019.
Meeting point: Pacific Drive entrance to Adderstone Reserve just past the IPU on the left hand side. Pacific Drive is off Aokautere Drive.
We will be planting eco-sourced native trees and grasses. If you would like to participate please bring a spade, gumboots and gardening gloves.
We will also be demonstrating traps that can be used in back yards and gullies towards the PNCC goal of a predator-free Summerhill and Aokautere. A list will be taken of residents in these areas who are interested in taking part in this project. Traps will be ordered and delivered at a later date.
Members of Green Corridors will be on hand to answer questions about our work of restoring native vegetation and eliminating weeds in the Turitea, Summerhill and Aokautere areas of Palmerston North.

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!
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
