Two threatened skink species are thriving at Auckland Zoo.

The cobble and Kapitia species were rescued by the Department of Conservation before separate cyclones hit their homes in the wild.

Zoo staff have managed to grow the cobble skinks' population from 36 to 55 animals.

They have been caring for a quarter of the entire population of Kapitia or Chesterfield skinks to guard against their extinction, zoo staff say.

From 50 animals collected, 11 Chesterfield lizards have been born this year.

Auckland Zoo is working with the Department of Conservation to plan the next stage of the recovery for both species.

Ectotherm keeper Sarah weighs and measures the skinks to check on their growth.

Christmas Tree Removal

Treemoval

Hi neighbours,

If you have an old, dead Christmas Tree, we’ll collect it for $15. My 13-year old son has developed this service, called ‘Treemovals’. He plans to recycle the trees into firewood and hopefully avoid them going into landfill etc.

Please message us here or on 021333221.

For one weekend only, enjoy dainty sandwiches, scones, savouries and cakes with a showcase of luxury teas from Harney & Sons, served from vintage bone china and antique silverware on tables adorned with antique linens and floral displays.

For full indulgence add a glass of bubbles (Lindauer Vintage Series Rosé, Brut or Free) for $8. Tickets include a goodie bag and entry to explore the house (usually $10).

Always an occasion, tickets make a lovely gift for birthdays, anniversaries or special occasions. If you are keen make sure to book promptly as these events always sell out in advance of the dates. Bookings are absolutely essential. Book via Eventfinda:
www.eventfinda.co.nz...

All proceeds support Alberton and Heritage New Zealand in caring for 44 historic properties around the country as well us undertaking the wider work of the organisation in the promotion, protection, preservation and conservation of historical and cultural heritage of New Zealand.
