Mark Lockhart, a Landscape Architect and board member of the Tree Council, recently launched a petition to save a century-old pōhutukawa tree in Mount Eden.

Lockhart says the mature tree is at risk of being felled due to the Auckland Council leaving it off the protected Tree Schedule. The Environment Court has now granted an Interim Enforcement Order. 

Lockhart, who is also involved with Mana Rakau, who rose from the Canal Road, Avondale protest, believes that some form of tree protection should be reinstated to protect what is left of our urban ngahere in Tamaki Makaurau.

Last Sunday, thousands of New Zealanders gathered to commemorate the anniversary of New Zealand and Australian troops landing at Gallipoli. Anzac Day is one of the biggest events and ceremonies in Aotearoa, but recently it has been criticised for overshadowing arguably more significant historical events.

Noah Ferguson-Dudding spoke to historian Vincent O'Malley who has argued that the New Zealand Wars of the 19th century had a more profound effect on the country, but are overlooked as they are harder for Pākehā to come to terms with.

Many New Zealanders are still in favour of Anzac Day, however. Noah also spoke to National President of the RSA, BJ Clark, who believes Anzac Day remains an important day to commemorate and honour those who have fought for New Zealand over the past 100 years.
