Wanted to buy

Upper Hutt: Wider Community Connectivity

Does anyone happen to have a copy of: 'Upper Hutt: The History' by J.A. Kelleher (see attached) sitting on a shelf, which they no longer need.
I would love to gift a copy to a local young man who has embraced our local history.

Yesterday a bunch of us popped across the road to the Petone foreshore, where we supported Friends of Petone Beach for a planting day🌱

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.
