Easter awareness

Leah from Naenae

Please be on the lookout for pet rabbits roaming around, not all would be dumped some might just not have been secured properly and dug out of the hutch but well... it's that time of year again...

Rabbits are an easily 12yr+ commitment which when they're an impulse easter purchase can be far too long for some and misconception leads to others thinking they can survive in the wild when the domestic breeds have no knowledge of how to dig a proper shelter nor can they adapt to changes in weather, with us having falcons around, cat saliva is toxic to them, not to mention wandering dogs and cars, it's a bleak environment for a rabbit who is bred to be in a human home not out in the wild, even the suburban wild

Even if you don't find any wandering around it'd make a difference if you're able to donate to the Wellington Rabbit Rescue, I know money can be tight for many so the most powerful thing you can do is learn and spread awareness

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!

Speed limits around NaeNae

Susan from Naenae

Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
