Sandringham Moth Plant Competition 2023
We are on a mission and we need your help Sandringham!
Moth plant is a pest plant that is spreading through Sandringham, suffocating desirable plants and killing Monarch butterflies. Last year SPiCE and Mt Albert Grammar School Environmental Group launched a competition to encourage the community to get involved in eradicating moth plant. It was a huge success and we managed to remove 19,561 moth plant pods and vines. In fact, it was so successful that we are going to do it all again. We have great cash prizes for the most successful teams and we would love to beat 20,000 pods and vines - will you join us on our mission? Registrations open Monday 27th March and run until Sunday 16th April. Collect pods from when you register until Sunday 21st May. Want more information - see our website for all the details.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
