The council team at Botanic Garden ki Paekākā are putting down their mowers and growing a meadow on Glenmore Lawn (pictured).
Not mowing means less maintenance but also has benefits for the environment. Not mowing saves on petrol and also promotes bio diversity. Bees, insects and caterpillars all love long grass.
What do you think about growing meadows and not cutting lawns?

We are a group branched from or an offshoot from the Bell's Track working group involved in restoring our native forests as we worked on Bell's track around Awarua Street station and the reserve in Awarua Street. As coordinator for the last 20 years decided best to split it into 3 groups. Tony Cook will run Bell's Track and Matthew the reserve between 72 and 94 Awarua Street.
We have decided to call our group Railway R`op`u (te reo for group) our aim is to have the Johnsonville line a native plant corridor and people can buy day passes and be given a map showing the walks and cafes at each station.
At the moment we meet every Tuesday morning 11 am at Awarua Street Station but now need more help. Yes you can join us on Tuesdays or adopt a spot or look after a particular species of plant, The attached photos show what we have achieved in 14 years but as our area includes Cummings Park and railway embankment there is plenty to do.
An example of how you can help is we planted 12 Nikau palms and they are now getting overwhelmed by weeds so to care for them would be a real help. Once we get a canopy then that represses the weeds but this can take 4 to 6 years.
I cannot stress enough the importance of our forests in remediëring the damage we have done .
For those interested in knowing more I do a tour at Zealandia every Thursday at 11am talking about our manu (birds) and reforestation.

We have just received a letter from WCC saying that a significant part of our land is going to be designated as Significant Natural Areas (SNA).
To put it as not so fine a point, SNA is more akin to a blatant land grab whereby your private land is being treated almost like Council reserve land. Anything more than minor maintenance of your land eg. trimming *will* require a resource consent. Essentially SNA strips away many of your rights as property and land owners.
We are all in for natural conversation but this is a a very heavy handed approach more like what happens to other overseas authoritarian regimes where land grab is a given. What annoys us the most is when there were property development in the neighbourhood and the developers were cutting down *ALL* the trees on road reserve, we wrote to WCC and they decided to turn a blind eye. And now WCC is talking about SNA. What an unprincipled and a hypocritcal proposal.
You can read more about SNA on WCC site here:

A commentary by Barbara Mckenzie on Scoop, she had started a petition for WCC to abandon its SNA policy:

"I'm a playful pup, who loves having a wrestle with my friends and burning off my puppy energy. I have quickly become a volunteer favourite and they can’t understand why I am still here. I am looking for a semi-experienced home to help me learn the necessities, continue my socialisation and help me thrive in my new home. Due to my age, I'm not able to be left alone for more than a few hours at a time, though it's a great time to continue my puppy training.
I am beginning to learn basic commands like sit, down and come. I love chasing balls and chewing , I am very clever at doing both of these things. I am yet to be tested with small animals, and could learn from an existing male dog in the home. I am better suited to a house with confident teenagers, rather than children. If you're keen to meet me and be very entertained by me, apply to adopt me and the canine team will be in touch."
Dear neighbours,
If you've ever struggled with this question, houseplant collector Moira West (400 indoor plants and growing!) has the answers.
