Mini BioBlitz at the Mahoe Reserve in Lincoln
Event description
🦋 Join our exciting search for various species in the Mahoe Native Reserve in Lincoln. You'll be on the hunt for anything that flies, grows, crawls and hides!
Taking place on Sunday 27 April, 2 pm - 4 pm at Mahoe Native Reserve, 34 Boundary Road, Lincoln.
As part of the City Nature Challenge Ōtautahi, we are running another Mini BioBlitz. We welcome nature enthusiasts of all ages to this free event at which you will identify species found in the reserve and upload your observations to iNaturalist.NZ. The challenge takes place globally as people all over the world look to see the diversity of life in our local areas. We encourage you to download the iNaturalist app onto your mobile device and then you can use it to upload photos of organisms at the event.
We are very grateful to the people who have already volunteered to help you with identifying species and using the iNaturalist app to report all our findings. There will also be people showing us how we can examine the health of our water and our soil, two very important issues for our natural environment.
This free event was very successful last year, and we look forward to another enjoyable afternoon. Booking is not required just come along and join the fun.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
61.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
22.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.1% ... It is complicated

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

Are you for, or against?
-
9.7% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.2% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
