Bell's Track Working group.
Attached is our latest update.
Been a delight working in our own garden with the company of Piwakawaka and Tui also occasional kaka.
Looking forward to working on our projects again but meantime enjoying lockdown garden never looked so good.
Thanks to Jacinda and team and as I have said before listen to the scientists.
take care.
Bell's Track is maintained by volunteers nad as co.ordinator I am responsible for their well being. Unfortunately some dog owners do not appreciate our work and are not removing the dog poo. We should not have to pick it up bag it and take it home it is putting lives at risk and if it goes into the stream will pollute it and kill our creatures that live in it.
Be kind think of our volunteers.
Arohanui,

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
