Some of you may have seen me online and around the Wellington region's rivers and lakes! I've been visiting waterways across the region, talking to people about freshwater pests and how they can avoid spreading them. Everyone (from boaties to fishermen and swimmers, as well as campers and hikers) needs to be aware of freshwater pests, because they are easily spread and cause many problems.
I'm going to be popping by a bunch of upcoming Greater Wellington Get Outdoors events this Summer, with my arms filled with the Check Clean Dry packs in between visiting the waterways, so if you see me come say hi and feel free to ask me any questions!
Check out the work that myself and some of my team get up to at www.gw.govt.nz...

The often maligned Wainuiomata has plenty going for it with stacks of undeveloped land for housing, a new retirement village and the nearly deserted mall having recently been bought. Do you think Wainui is set for a new era of prosperity?

We're expecting the work to be finished in about three weeks' time.
It's the summer of all summers but will there be a cicada chorus to soundtrack it? The arrival of the chorus cicada, New Zealand's most common and loudest cicada, is anything but a given and will not be overtly influenced by our record-breaking weather. How many have you heard?
