Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022
The Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022 is on this Saturday from 10am-4pm!
Don your winter woollies, grab your binoculars, and invite your friends and family for an afternoon of scavenger hunting to find lots of unique yarn birds, created by Wonky Stitches NZ, hidden all around the Lower Hutt city centre! Don’t forget to register your participation at Wonky Stitches NZ and you can pick up a copy of the map at the War Memorial Library on Saturday!
There will also be a Crochet Workshop running during the Bird Count at War Memorial Library with a koha donation entry. The proceeds from this will be going to Wellington Harbour Little Blue Penguin Study (Penguin People). This event is sponsored by About Space Hutt City, a programme that places active and creative projects in vacant spaces, to add vibrancy to the city.
Some Choice News!
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!
Speed limits around NaeNae
Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
