This morning I was out in Ngongotaha to witness the blessing of a magnificent red beech log. The log was gifted to the village by the Kaharoa Mangorewa Trust to commemorate the importance of forestry to this area.
The log has been placed on the paved area adjacent to the car park at the entrance to the stream walk, just off Taui Street. It is well worth taking time to explore this area which also features a beautiful bridge across the stream linking to Stage One of the Ngongotaha to City Cycleway.
There is a great feeling of community partnerships in action, with Progress Ngongotaha , the Ngongotaha Rail Trust and Te Whare Hauora o Ngongotaha and others working closely together for the benefit of the whole community.
I have enjoyed my close and ongoing association with Ngongotaha and love the growing collection of community art works that mirror the cultural richness of the community.
