Plant/tree clippings needed!
Kia ora neighbours 👋
I am a wildlife rehabilitation technician at Wildbase Recovery in the esplanade.
At the centre we currently are hand raising tui chicks and have juvenile kereru who are learning how to bird. A major factor of their success is the ability to forage and recognise natural sources of food.
We aim to be able to release them back to the wild soon whilst food is abundant but we need to confirm they can forage nectar and berries etc on their own
We are in need of unsprayed clippings of flowering and fruiting trees for tui and kereru. Native is ideal, however there are exotic species that are safe.
Tui- These can be pohutukawa, rata, bottlebrush, hebe, flax flowers etc.
Kereru- fruiting trees such as kawakawa, karaka, caprosma, tree Lucerne, loquats, etc
If anyone has clippings available or can put me in contact with someone who may be trimming some of these trees please give me a yell😊
To arrange collection/ drop off or, if you can help in any way please send me a message or email t.poole@massey.ac.nz
Thanks in advance and come on down to the centre and say hi!

Slow Woven Textile Studio Open Day
Hi Neighbours! I am a weaver and fibre artist who works with natural fibres to create beautiful, one-off pieces inspired by the native plant life of Aotearoa.
Join me in my Ashhurst studio next Sunday, the 4th of January, for the Slow Woven Textile Studio monthly open day. You can learn about weaving, enjoy demonstrations and even weave your own cute and colourful mug rug to take home for free.
I share the studio with my dad, rural artist Graham Christensen, and his work will also be on display.
Sunday 4th of January, Open 10am-4pm
84 Glenburn Road, (off Napier Rd) Ashhurst.
Please note that number 84 is at the very end of Glenburn Road - so wind your way up the hill and it's at the very top.
The studio is open to the public on the first Sunday of each month.
