Residents Wanted For Wetlands Planting
Monday, 30 July 2001, 12:43 am
Press Release: Christchurch City Council
Residents are needed for another planting session at the
Bexley Wetlands.
The Christchurch City Council and the
Bexley Wetland Trust has developed the wetland area for the
last two years.
Another public planting will take place
on Saturday 25 August. This will follow the one held on 21
July when about 30 people planted a variety of grasses, flax
and coastal shrubs.
A spokeswoman for the trust, Mia
Colberts, says more than 2000 trees and shrubs have been
planted at the wetland so far.
The planting is designed to
create a protection zone between nearby residential
development and an ecological heritage area.
Wildlife has
already returned to the area and one of the trust’s tasks
now is to prevent cats getting into the area.
The wetlands
are an important nesting area for pukeko and pied stilt.
Also to be found there are shoveler, grey heron and paradise
shelduck.
On 25 August the “planters” should meet in the
carpark at the Wairoa Reserve at 10.30am. They should take a
shovel. A barbecue will be held afterwards for the
workers.

Spotify has to be one of the most interestingly futile mouse-wheels of 21st century capitalism. Run, run, run goes the Spotify mouse but it never, ever makes a profit. For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
