Thousands of native trees and plants will be planted on the site which will also act as a storage basin, reducing flooding in the surrounding area, while the 2.75 hectare forest will attract native birdlife. The logs lining the waterways are reclaimed from the Avon River corridor, removed as part of work to strengthen the stopbanks. The Linwood Lower Fields work should be finished in September.

Copied and pasted on behalf of Virginia from Spreydon (who is Nate's Mum). Like she said if we all just pledged $5 dollars they would easily get to their goal and beable to start this venture. How exciting for them and for Christchurch.
Can we do it as a community and help this get up … View moreCopied and pasted on behalf of Virginia from Spreydon (who is Nate's Mum). Like she said if we all just pledged $5 dollars they would easily get to their goal and beable to start this venture. How exciting for them and for Christchurch.

Hi to all you wonderful Neighbourly folk
My son, Nate, and his wife, Alyssa, are working hard to raise $25000 to help start the first every cat cafe in South Island right here in Christchurch!
They only have 1 week to go to raise the last $8000 and so I'm spreading the word about their crowd-funding project where people can pledge from just $5.00. Every pledge has a corresponding reward. Pledges will only become donations when the $25000 goal is reached.
Every pledge will be greatly appreciated and help to make a wonderful new place for people to meet, have a cuppa and something delicious to eat and interact with Cat Rescue cats and kittens - you could also give a special, forever home to one of the cats or kittens that will be available for adoption.
Check out the Catnap Cafe crowdfunding project and facebook page in the links below.
Many thanks
Victoria

Would like a truckload of wood chips for my garden. We have a good spot to dump it in our driveway. Would be much appreciated.

Hi all, for sale I have two camera lenses for APS-C sensor based Sony Alpha A-mount digital cameras. First is the Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM zoom lens - a handy zoom good for wider angle photos through to portraits. Second is the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM zoom lens - handy for portraits … View moreHi all, for sale I have two camera lenses for APS-C sensor based Sony Alpha A-mount digital cameras. First is the Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM zoom lens - a handy zoom good for wider angle photos through to portraits. Second is the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM zoom lens - handy for portraits through to indoor sports and subjects where you need to zoom in a bit closer from a distance. Both in very good condition, AF works fine, exterior of lenses are tidy, optics have no scratches, no balsam separation, no haze/fog, no fungus, and no dust capable of affecting final images. No hood on the 18-55mm but unless you shoot direct into sunlight you'll not need it. I've shown a couple of example images I took with both lenses at the Botanic gardens not long ago, please check them out...
I previously offered both lenses together for $175, but I'll drop that to $160 - if you wish to buy just one I'll offer the 18-55mm now for $40 and the 55-200mm now for $130.
Any questions please ask.
