Get Involved: Calling All Volunteers

JoElle from Island Bay

🌱 Manawa Karioi Winter Working Bees 🌱

Join us to care for our ngahere and reconnect with the whenua 🌿
Every Sunday in June and August, 1pm–3pm (except June 1)

📍 Meet at the Tapu Te Ranga Marae Carpark – end of Danube Street, Island Bay, Wellington

Important Notes:

Sunday 1 June – No Working Bee (King’s Birthday Weekend – public holiday)

Sunday 29 June – Bird Survey Special!
This Working Bee falls during the NZ Garden Bird Survey. You’ll have the chance to contribute by spending an hour observing and recording birds across Manawa Karioi. A great way to support bird conservation in Aotearoa – we’ll provide instructions and recording sheets.

🌧 Rain or shine – we’ll be out there planting, maintaining tracks, and enjoying the ngahere.
🧤 Tools, gloves, and good vibes provided – just bring yourself (and a friend!).

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
