Working bee in l’Anson Bush Reserve on Thursday 18 June
Hi nature lovers!
Our weeding bees in I'Anson Reserve in Te Puna will recommence on Thursday 18 June, and from then every third Thursday of the month. We meet 9.30 am at the reserve entrance on Loop Road, just off SH2, very close to the Te Puna roundabout. Finish 11.30am.
Please donate 2 hours of your time to help maintain this beautiful reserve! We recommend to wear sturdy shoes and bring a water bottle; we will supply everything else. If you are planning to come along, please email or phone Kate (in case of unforeseen postponement).
The Friends of I'Anson Reserve (supported by QEII and Tauranga Forest & Bird) had held a very successful weeding bee just before lockdown. These volunteers removed another few hundred tree weeds and palms, and stopped a large infestation of Moth Plant in its tracks. While we were unable to go to I'Anson Reserve during lock-down, we have been planning for the year ahead. A pandemic doesn't stop keen conservationists!
ALSO if you have a spare hour per month, please help us check our trap and bait station network. It’s still in the planning but hoping to launch in July. More news soon.
Cheers! Kate Loman-Smith

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 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?
