Our crew got stuck in straight away, planting a total of 810 plants along the western end of Petone Beach.
These plants help to protect the dunes from storm surge damage and rising sea levels, reduce the amount of sand blown onto properties along the beachfront, and restore the native biodiversity.
After planting, they are protected with netting so the pesky rabbits don’t get a hold of them – giving them a chance to grow.

The regional council has announced it will seek $415 million in funding for new trains to help increase capacity on the Hutt and Kāpiti lines - the busiest in the region.

Trains running longer distance services between Wellington and Masterton and Wellington and Palmerston North need refurbishments or replacements and patronage growth on these services has already exceeded the available capacity for both fleets, the council said.
Fifteen four-car Dual Mode Multiple Units would replace the current fleet and run on electricity from overhead power wires, switching to alternative energy sources north of Waikanae and Upper Hutt.
The earliest date for the first of the new trains being put into service is 2025.
What do you think? Just how crowded are the trains currently?

We’ve printed ours onto linen to wrap around pot plants, a simple yet thoughtful gift that friends and family will love.
