Belmont Domain and Predator Free Pareraho
The Predator Free Prareraho initiative has a trap line of 30 traps around the domain and along the riverbank. These traps are to catch predators such as rats and stoats before they can make their way from the riverbed up to the Pareraho Forest behind Kelson.
These traps need to be checked about every week, so I am looking for a few people to check the line on a regular basis. If we can get a group of four or five people, then each of us would only need to check the line once a month.
There are 30 traps in the line, which take me about one and a half hours to check walking to the start and back from the finish.
Please PM me or text/ring me on 021-469655 if you are interested in joining this team.

in need of Hydrangeas for wedding
Hello everyone
My daughter is getting married this Saturday 28th February and the venue was battered by the storm and destroyed a lot of the flowers we were allowed to use. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any green white or baby pink hydrangeas in their garden that they wouldn't mind parting with ?
Would be very much appreciated
Thank you
Linda

Our amazing Hillary Hikers from Edmund Hillary Village showed their support for Bowel Cancer New Zealand's Move Your Butt campaign this month!
Sporting the bright purple and orange campaign shirts, these wonderful walkers hit the Auckland waterfront and marched from Mission Bay to Kohimarama, raising awareness for bowel cancer and the importance of early detection along the way.
