STEPS has been working with NZ Tourism Research Institute at Auckland University of Technology for a number of years. Recently NZTRI has taken over the hosting of this Meola Creek website, so we have a more reliable platform for blogs, photos and other news. We thank Nat Dobbin and Simon Milne and the NZTRI team.

STEPS has asked Auckland Council for updates to the interpretive signs on the Roy Clements treeway, and 7 signs are now in the Albert Eden Local Board budget for July 2016-June 2017.
We are modifying existing signs, updating the text / photos and relocating some; adding also a map. One particular concern we have is in relation to the strength and nature of the materials and their accessibility / location. Since vandalism (tagging) remains an issue AC cleans them regularly. AC will soon appoint a technical designer to assist.
STEPS has drafted text and started collecting photos old and new. Some of the main topics we are working with are:
We also plan the use of QR codes for more detail, by placing on each sign a QR code which refers to a particular web page. People use their mobiles to link for further information. – eg species list for each different location. Over time we could include birds & fish as well as plants.
If you have photos or ideas please contact us through our web site.
