Nau mai haere mai ki te Makariri. It's been a quick change
into the thermals and jackets with frosts, rain and slightly
chillier nights. Those lovely sunny days really do give us a
beau�ful view of our majes�c mounga. I know I enjoy the
nights in front of the fire knowing that our gardens are
bedding down ready to spring up and surprise us all in a

New Zealand’s Birds:
There are so many reasons for you and your
students to learn about birds! Aotearoa is a
land of birds, they are an integral part of our
identity and are intrinsic in kaitiakitanga. New
Zealand is home to 168 species of native birds,
and 93 of these are endemic (found in no
other country). Four out of every five are in
trouble
or gorse may also adversely
influence flow path alignment. Any debris
which has lodged in the bed needs to be
removed if it is likely to impede passage of
floodwater. Vegetation clearance is so
closely linked with flood control and
erosion control in channels, that it is
discussed alongside these topics in the
Council’s information sheet Maintaining
channels and floodplains.

are spending the afternoon of Thursday 5 May
visiting a number of wetland areas (see insert)
all of which are suitable for class visits.
As a result of the Christchurch earthquakes the
Council has reviewed the procedures for visitors
