Tree planting to mark the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III
This morning we acknowledged the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III with a small tree planting event at Ferndale Reserve in Waikanae.
Ten kahikatea were planted in His Majesty’s honour by Mayor Janet Holborow, Council kaumatua Te Rakauoteora Te Maipi and local tamariki as an acknowledgement of the King’s commitment to conservation and sustainability.
Kahikatea are a representation of mana – the mana of the King and the mana of Tāne Mahuta, god of forests. We also encourage people to plant a native tree in their backyard as a way to mark this special occasion.
His Majesty King Charles III’s coronation will be televised on TVNZ 1, Saturday 6 May from 10pm. To find out more, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
