Pest Free Kaipātiki Tool Shed - A Christmas Special
This is the last opportunity to return and borrow tools for the year! If you have empty or nearly empty gel bottles please return them. The next Tool Shed event will not be back until January 22nd, 2022.
We have the usual advice, tools, gloves, herbicides, sterigene for kauri protection, traps and more to borrow, so come on down anytime between 9-12:30pm.
Located underneath the Birkenhead Senior Citizens Hall - look for the flag.
Thank you to everyone who has picked up traps or tools to control invasive pest plants and predators - it is making a huge difference to Kaipātiki.
