Christmas is in the air with the news that registrations are now open for Tree Awamutu. The annual event, running for three days in December, invites local schools, businesses, families and community groups to construct a tree that represents them. Trees of all shapes and sizes are displayed in a pop-up Christ- mas Tree Forest at Zion People church (formerly North End Church). All are welcome to the free community event to wander through the trees, vote for their favourite and enjoy entertainment and refreshments. There is an exciting new addition to the festival this year — a tiny tree category. Children aged five to 12 construct a tree that represents them, their interests or their dreams. Trees can be no larger than 30cm high and 30cm wide. The public votes for the People’s Choice Award and guest judges choose the winning trees in each age group (5-8 and 9-12). There are three categories in the regular large tree competition, with prizes awarded for the winning tree in each category and the public choosing the People’s Choice Award.

Just off Great North Road in Auckland, Oakley Creek/Te Auaunga had been affected by pollution and urban development for decades - so locals formed ‘Friends of Oakley Creek’ in 2004. 14 years later, they’ve planted over 65,000 native species and removed tons of weeds and rubbish. Wendy John, a Friends founder, says, "Oakley Creek is a true taonga that needs protection. It’s a little gem really.” Thursday, September 26, 2019 Te Awamutu Courier 29 Five riders make elite cycling team
