Better For Birds - Rat Information Evening
Are you interested in working with your neighbours to lower rat numbers in your street?
Beyond the Fence is a group of residents around Le Roys Bush who are working together on private land to control weeds and rats to protect the birds, lizards and plants of our suburb.
We have Council funding to control rats. Currently around 50 residents have bait stations or traps on their properties.
If you’re interested, we’d love to meet you:
Where: Birkenhead Library
When: April 5th 2018 at 7pm
We’ll be there with other people who are part of the programme. We’ll have a range of traps and bait stations available for you to see. We’ll explain how we work. Currently the programme is free thanks to Auckland Council and the Kaipatiki Local Board who support our
work.
If you can’t make it, but are keen to find out more mail us at connect2btf@gmail.com
Or find us on facebook @beyondthefencebirkenhead
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
