17th Jul 2021 Tree planting at Waitawa Regional park with ” Friends of Peace”
July 17, Saturday, a stormy morning, was the day to plant trees in the Waitawa Regional Park.
I called the park ranger and asked if the weather is bad, will the tree planting activity be cancelled? They said that there will be no cancellation, and plant as many people as they want, and it doesn’t matter if no one comes.
I promised the Friends of Peace. So I still drove to Waitawa Park early in the morning. I didn’t expect a few people from them to come. However, when it was close to ten o’clock, when it was time to plant trees, nearly 30 people came.
The rain is still heavy. I tell everyone that if you don’t want to plant trees in the rain, you can stay in the car. They knew that the tree-planting operation had already begun. Everyone didn’t shrink back, and they all got out of the car eve without rain protection equipment. The spirit of not afraid of wind and rain ,It’s amazing! 500 saplings were planted in just over an hour. Although many people were drenched and did not complain, everyone happily enjoyed the barbecue sausages.
The park ranger Bryan was very moved and ran on their bus to thank them, and hope they will come again!
The President of the Friends of Peace said well, we plant trees and we promote culture for peace. I’m sure that the Chinese today will leave a beautiful and peaceful impression in Kiwi’s heart!

Many people do not know where they can dispose their inorganic waste and hazardous waste. Though you have to pay for the waste you want to dump, Waitakere Transfer Station used to serve only West Aucklanders. Now all Aucklanders can take their inorganic waste and hazardous waste there.

27th Feb 2021 Learn about conservation through outings
Goat Island Reserve one day tour
- Goat Island Marine Discovery Centre is a very interesting and educational place. You can learn about the marine lives that we can hardly have chance to know, e.g. the starfish can take its stomach out on the food to digest the food, the octopus is so clever that it tried to use its feet to open a jar. When it couldn’t get the lid opened, it used its feet to take the jar home.
- Tawharanui Regional Park is a mainland Island. There is no pest animal inside the park. The park is a peninsular. How can the park rangers prevent pest animals like mice and rats to swim from the sea into the park ?
- You have been to Honey Centres, Have you learnt how complicate the honey bees’ community is? We love prospolis. We love Royal Jelly. What are they ?
We are going to visit the above 3 places on the 27th February.
