Try your hand at a range of fun activities related to environmental monitoring, research, and citizen science involving local wildlife, plants, water quality, Māori cultural values, and local history. Learn about Māori medicinal plants, weaving, bird monitoring, pest control, native insects and fish and wildlife management.

There will be kayaking, guided walks, planting, a scavenger hunt, and much more!

Food and refreshments will be available!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
