Bell's Track Working group.
Attached is our February update.
We are a group vouluntry restoring the native flora to the Awarua valley area and can always do with more help.
We meet every Tuesday 11 am at Awarua Street Station and improve that area into Cummings Park and each month on the first Sunday of the month we meet at 10.30 am and of Awarua Street Ngaio. This time of the year we are mostly weeding in preperation for planting in winter as we have over 400 plants on order. Garden gloves essential tools can be provided but if you have loppers or pruning saw would help.
You may be interested to know according to Dr Philip Hulme our top botanist that the exotic plants that have gone wild are a bigger threat to our environment then the pest animals imported into Aotearoa.

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)
.
