Wasp wipeout - can you help?

The Team from Wasp Wipeout

Wasps are a serious problem for people on picnics, but their effects on native insect populations are devastating.

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.

This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.

While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region

So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.

Hi all, I'm new to the group and wanted to introduce myself.

I'm a local children's author, and early childhood teacher. The stories I write have a literacy focus, and aim to help preschool and primary school children build confidence around the alphabet by exploring letters and sounds.

Each book has a quiz at the end and activity suggestions based on the book, so it is suitable for a home or school environment.

Please visit my website: www.anitakellygaunt.com... to learn more about the books I have released!

With Christmas not far off, consider buying locally for a little person in your life, or even as a gift for a teacher. A great story and learning resource! Available for $25. Thanks!

Can you help to raise donation for my Deaf History project and I want to continue to do research and work on Deaf History and sign language plus culture. Without getting a new desktop I can not work from home. I have got a laptop but it will wear out the battery life...

I would be grateful if you can donate and it will make a little difference for me to continue to work from home and to teach/write books for the community. So they can continue to learn more about our Deaf History, Sign language, Deaf schools and Deaf cultures. Thank you..
