Predator Free Herne Bay/Ponsonby
Kia ora all. Our group is now on facebook! We are growing, and our trapping network on TrapNZ is building nicely. We are keen to hold the line on rats to protect our native birds within our urban gardens and parks. We encourage new members from the Herne Bay, Ponsonby, St Mary's or Freemans Bay areas who want to manage a trap in their back yard. We can arrange for a free trap from our friends at Urban Ark if you are ready to give it a go!
You can find us at www.pfhb.org...
and now www.facebook.com...

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
