Riding for ecological renewal

We've achieved our goal with a day to spare!

29 November 2025

Today I did a solo trip to Te Pae o Ahuriri and the nearby reconstructed wetland project Whakaora Te Ahuriri. These lie close to Huritini Halswell River between Tai Tapu and Motukāra, alongside the Little River Rail Trail.

We've really enjoyed our tour; it's great how people in various communities across Ōtautahi have pulled together to work for "ecological renewal". And, looking at the various projects, each is different but all really cool!

So, thanks for supporting us!

Reaching the half-way point

14 November 2025

We're halfway through the month, and today was the 2nd of our four sites: Farnley Reserve. This is behind the St Martins shops and is a part of the Ōpāwaho River Network. It was planted out by local Soroptomists 25+ years ago. A big plus is the Bing Dawe sculpture of tuna (eels); big challenges are the weeds, and (very sadly) unconsented tree removal.
