Yesterday, over 70 members of the Tauranga community got together with local Rotary Clubs of Tauranga and Tauranga City Council Natural Environments Team to put 4500 native plants in the ground in Kopurererua Valley Reserve. What a contribution to the restoration of this wetland ecosystem: food and habitat for the wildlife, flood, pollution and global warming mitigation! And the launch of the Friends of the Valley means even more opportunity to do your bit! If you’re interested, follow this link. https://events.humanitix.com/friends-of-k-valley-are-you-interested

Our own Simon Beaton explained the intricacies of Guitars to us last friday. Who knew how complex wood selection was. His collection included at least one made from swamp kauri which was likely 10 to 50000 yrs old. He has also chosen one with a wider neck, to future proof against arthritis. The collection he had with him contained about 4 guitars. His knowledge of construction was extensive and held our attention easily.
