Who’s getting excited about warm Summer days and spending time with the family these holidays? We definitely are! Look out for our Summer Fun van while you’re out and about. It’s full to the brim with fun toys to keep the kids entertained at our beautiful parks and reserves. Hopefully we’ll see you at one of our events over the next couple of months.
Our Summer Fun Programme starts 2nd December. Join us for free preschool play on Mondays and Wednesdays and for Family Fun Fridays for Primary aged kids. All sessions take place at our wonderful local parks in Hauraki, Takapuna, Castor Bay, Sunnynook, Milford and Forrest Hill. For a full timetable, visit our website (www.takapunatrust.org.nz) or Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/summerfunplay/
Join us at Sunnynook Park on Thursday 12th December from 5-6.30pm for the Sunnynook Christmas Wheels event. Dress up and decorate your wheels in a Christmas theme. Meet at Sunnynook Community Centre and then make your way along the path around the park. Complete the challenges and collect stamps that can be redeemed for lollies or stickers at the end of the trail. Free face painting and sausage sizzle. This event is accessible and we encourage all types of wheels and abilities. Big thanks to Auckland Transport and Devonport-Takapuna Local Board for supporting this event.
Thank you to everyone who came along to our free Active Ageing Expo in Takapuna on 8th November. It was a fantastic day with some wonderful community groups, clubs and societies. We’re looking forward to next year’s event already!
Bird counters, bird spotters and pest trappers we need you. The North Shore Birdsong Project is on the look-out for any residents keen to help out with regular bird counts in reserves and residential areas. We are looking for a large number of people for this lovely volunteer role, so if you love birds and have short blocks of time to spare every now and then, we need people to identify, monitor and report bird sightings. All you need to do is sign up, grab your coffee and the survey form, and record bird sightings for short periods of time – as easy as that. We are also really interested in hearing from any person or organisation who is able to help rid the area of pests and help our ecological restoration teams, especially if you have a pest problem on your property or live close to a reserve. We have traps available for long-term loan, training and support is available too. If you’re keen to be involved, please contact Fiona Martin at: enviro@takapunatrust.org.nz and sign up to the Facebook page: /northshorebirdsongproject for events and notifications.
