Hi
I’m new to the Greytown area and looking for recommendations for a fencer and a handyman. They don’t need to be the same person 😄.

Paper wasps can be easily identified by their long, drooping back legs and laid-back, slow style of flying.
Asian, Australian and European paper wasps have gradually made their homes around our houses and fences and over the past few years and while they are useful for some unwanted bugs like the great white cabbage butterfly, unfortunately they aren't picky and have been feasting on our monarch butterfly caterpillar and other useful native bugs as well.
At Wasp Wipeout we are working hard to help raise funds to wipe out the most invasive species of wasps - the vespula (common and German) variety which inhabit a lot of our bush areas and regularly invade picnics and barbecues. To help us fight this species you can donate here
If you want to find out more about paper wasps, you can read the story and watch the video here

We recently took this out of a wall to make more wall and so don't need it anymore.
It's made of wood, the four side bits are opening windows, I took one of them out to see if there were any issues, and there weren't, even the screws came out with no problem. All the window stays [hardware bits] are included.
Will fit an opening of 2.5m long by 1.5m high
It's free, so let me know if you want it.

Thought we could have some fun and share a memory or two more;
Memory (from the musical 'Cats'.)
"All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again."

Dog walkers are welcome (most of us do have dogs) but some dog owners are being irresponsible and not picking up their own dog poo and it is left there for our volunteers to clean up .This is happening a lot, not a very nice job picking up your dogs poo.
Our locals work hard to keep the trail beautiful for everyone to enjoy
