Lizards move into a 'hotel'
Native lizards in Mt Cook have been rehomed to a local "hotel' as part of the project to build a reservoir.
Workers have started the excavation for the 35 million litre reservoir in the Wellington Town Belt, which will double the CBD’s drinking water storage.
In the three weeks before work started, searchers rehomed 26 native northern grass skinks, some pregnant, and one copper skink – both protected species – from the site.
The four “lizard hotels” – piles of logs, soil, and leaf litter – were set up in an area overlooking the excavation site in August by volunteers from the community, and students from Wellington High School, overseen by a team from contractor HEB Construction.

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!
