Great to see that after requesting that our Forest and Bird signs be reskinned. Some action has occurred. Today I checked after meeting Graham a local on the Bayswater side while I was counting godwit and he passed on that one of the signs had been unskinned apparently waiting for a new covering. I then checked the one at Charles Street that was really in poor shape and was pleased to see that it has been completely reskinned with a fresh sign. (see photo).
Two of our four signs around the estuary were becoming very shabby due to weather, UV and kids' bikes being leaned on them.
I would like to thank the Auckland staff who have pushed this through and Richard at North Shore Forest and Bird who also had a hand in progressing this.
The signs were originally installed in 2014 to help inform locals about the interesting shorebirds that visit the estuary and the designation of Shoal estuary as a Site of Significant Wildlife Interest.
