This lovely bush reserve in Te Puna situated between SH2, Loop Road and Armstrong Road has a 2 km walking track around a small lake. Unfortunately, invasive weeds have become a problem, and most can only be removed by manual weeding. Monthly working bees are now being held at I’Anson Reserve on every third Thursday of the month. The third one will be held this Thursday (18 July) at 9.30am. Please gather at the car park off Loop Road, off SH2. Bring suitable clothing and foot wear, gloves and your own hand tools and drink/food if you wish.
If you have any creative ideas on how to attract coorporates or groups to come along for work days at the reserve to help achieve our weed free goal, please get in touch. Please share this invite with anyone you know who may be interested.
This project is a partnership between Forest and Bird and the QEII trust and the community.

Community celebration to mark Plummers Point cycleway opening
The community are being encouraged to hop on their bikes and test out the latest section of the Omokoroa to Tauranga cycleway next weekend.
Bring your bike, scooter, or walking shoes and come celebrate the completion of the 1.5km Plummers Point Connection cycleway with a community bike ride and walk at Tamihana Park from 10am on Saturday 20 July.
The cycleway is being officially opened by Western Bay of Plenty Mayor Garry Webber, with representatives from Tauranga City Council, NZ Transport Agency and local hapu Pirirakau.
Once open, the public will be able to set off on a scenic ride from the new Tamihana Park (end of Lynley Park Drive) along the base of the railway embankment, cross the Mangawhai Estuary before following the harbour’s edge and esplanade reserve to Huharua Park.
Mayor Garry says it is fantastic to be able to open the next stage of the highly-anticipated 19km Omokoroa to Tauranga cycleway, which once complete will be an incredible asset to the region.
“Already we are seeing the benefits the complete cycleway sections offer to the community and wider Bay of Plenty – whether cycling to work, schools using them as an educational tool or for recreational use.
“It is great to have worked with stakeholders and the community, particularly land owners, to help make this section a reality.”
The 19km Omokoroa to Tauranga cycleway is an Urban Cycleways Programme project, jointly funded by Central Government, the NZ Transport Agency, Western Bay of Plenty District Council and Tauranga City Council.
Additional contributors include the NZ Community Trust, TECT and the Omokoroa Community Board.
The Plummers Point Connection is made up of both new and existing off-road shared paths and local road connections that provide a link between Omokoroa and Tauranga City’s existing urban cycleway network.
Three stage openings remain ahead of the project’s completion, including the final State Highway 2 bridge clip-on cycleway over the Wairoa River.
Transport Agency Acting Director of Regional Relationships Ross I’Anson says it’s great to work with Council and see another section of this incredible cycleway open.
“We want to see more people getting out on their bikes, and cycleways like this make it so much easier to do just that.”
On the day, there will be a sausage sizzle, drinks and spot prizes. Dogs can also join in on the fun as long as they are on a leash.
There is on-street parking in the Lynley Park Drive area. Council encourages people attending to walk or cycle to this event.

There is a 12 foot high giraffe at end of driveway. Garage Sale is set up in our other building next to house (walk around to left as soon as you start walking up driveway, don’t go up to house itself) Right that is the boring stuff explained, so what are we selling??
HEAPS….there are items of lovely antique furniture (including a large leadlight china cabinet, kauri chair and walnut veneer dressing table), antique china (lots of nice Limoges miniatures amongst it) and lots of other interesting collectables. There is some other modern stuff like a bookcase and a nice solid timber wall unit; and also oak extension dining table and 6 chairs. There is a large aluminium and glass counter top display case, good quality men’s clothing including a suit (L-XL sizes), women’s shoes, heaps of cooking and paperback books, children’s games, toys and books; a Wii and a PS2 with lots of games, some unused rimu T&G panelling, a king size mattress for $5, assorted militaria…in summary lots of goodies that are laid out easy to sea…and priced to GO
Saving for a romantic mid winter break away in Whakatane…so please help us out
Time is from 8am until around 1pm. Don’t show up early as we will still be asleep!! I will need to kick my husband’s fat butt out of bed to make my morning cuppa at 7.45, and our Maltese Shitzus will still be on “attack” settings any earlier than this time
