Planting and Weeding at Appleton Park Sunday 12 May 2-4pm
Help beautify the entrance to Karori !
Hi everyone - we'd love to have you come and help with planting and weeding at Appleton Park on Sunday 12 May from 2-4 pm. We're working on the bush edge below the escarpment between the park itself and Birdwood Street above. This is part of a really important bird corridor between Zealandia and Otari Wilton's Bush.
Please bring a spade, and rakes (for tradescantia removal) and grubbers are really helpful too. Safe for children because its largely flat and away from the road!
If you can do some work any time before then - (the more weeds we clear the more we'll be able to plant on the 12th!) then please get in touch with me at andy.foster@wcc.govt.nz
Organised by Karori Kaitiaki Inc (KAKA) You can find out more about us or sign up so we can keep in contact on www.facebook.com... or Karori.kaitiaki@gmail.com
Thank you for your help!
Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
