4 Tuesday December 3 2019 News FLOURISHING: The Avon- Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust has transformed the wetlands. Trust transforms wetlands •From page 1 Trust chairman Dr Kit Doudney said the group has come a long way since forming almost two decades ago. “Charlesworth Reserve is a great example of how an entire landscape has been transformed and returned to its natural state,” he said. “Over almost 20 years, the land has gone from being an industrial plot to a natural wetland. “By planting native bush and trees we have seen birdlife return and thrive in that area.” Ihutai also works strategically to translate objectives into practical outcomes and leveraging action from outside the group to support those objectives. Dr Doudney said involving and engaging with the community is a key part of how the trust works. The trust has a number of events which draw citywide volunteers. •For more information on the trust, visit http://www.estuary. org.nz/home/home.html 100-year celebrations for kindergarten BIRTHDAY: Kidsfirst Kindergartens Phillipstown celebrated 100 years in its building on November 22.
