SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday October 22 2020 9 Your Local Views Encourage birds back into the city Heathcote River health I HAVE been thinking of trees this week. There have been very few times when as a member of the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board I haven’t thought about trees one way or another. Trees are probably the third most raised topic in the community after water and traffic and roads. Everyone loves a tree but at times many of us are inclined to have a word or two about their leaves, their roots, their placement and whether they are native/endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand or exotic. With the winds we have been having recently trees have been badly damaged in several of our parks and reserves and I have sent in one or two SnapSend- Solves to the city council requesting a clean-up of enormous branches and split trunks lying on the ground where children may have been playing the day before. You will have seen some damaged trees too. I often look at trees in our parks and reserves and think of their possible history. Were the lombardy poplars planted by or for returning soldiers from the World War 1 battles in Italy to remind them of their time there. From the board Karolin Potter, chair Were the oaks and elms and beeches similarly reflecting time spent in the United Kingdom around the same time. Many of these trees would live Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board BIRD CALL: There are groups of people in Christchurch planting endemic trees to encourage bellbirds, tui, kereru and the rest to come to town. hundreds of years in their home on the other side of the world but will live only decades in New Zealand because our winters are not cold enough to give the trees their proper rest. When I first came on the board we used to talk a lot about planting a native tree pathway from Banks Peninsula into town to encourage our birds and other fauna to return to the city. Other New Zealand cities have great populations of our native birds in their neighbourhoods with Wellington leading the way in restoring populations of native birds that we in Christchurch never see. I am so envious when I hear an interview in Wellington on radio drowned out by the squawk of a kaka. I am thrilled to know that we have groups of local people planting endemic trees to encourage bellbirds, tui, kereru and the rest to come to town and that that effort is supported by the Summit Road Society and all the other groups who are working so hard to make the Port Hills predatorfree. You can’t do much better than planting a tree for your children and their children unless its also putting a well serviced and humane trap in your back garden if you live on the river or the hills. A RECENT newspaper article highlighted the poor water quality of Christchurch’s urban rivers. The Ōpāwaho Heathcote River scored the worst for sediment, zinc and copper, according to a city council report. The report showed a lack of progress made in dealing with these contaminants. Jenny Webster-Brown noted, “city residents should take more responsibility” for the health of the river. The Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Network is an organisation working with community groups to advocate for the continued improvement of the river. The recent World Rivers Day and World Fish Migration Day celebration had a huge community response. It brought together community groups, councils and businesses involved in river care. People saw how they can make a difference. A co-ordinated approach between tangata whenua, local government and the community is essential. Community engagement and involvement is a powerful tool to institute change. – Annabelle Hasselman, chair Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Network growing with you Three Time winner of NZCNA Best Magazine | July 2020 | 100% Our shrub Of the month Why you need a smoke bush Gardening in Glass The art of making terrariums Start your StrawberrieS Priming for sweet success this summer Are you ready to grow?
