2022 Wild Birds of New Zealand Calendars
It's that time of year again folks. I'm taking pre-orders for the 2022 Wild Birds of New Zealand calendar now.
Like last year these are a large A3-size calendar, with cover printed on 300gsm gloss art board and the pages printed on 150gsm gloss art paper. These are printed locally in Petone at Valley Print. The calendars are $28 each inclusive of GST, plus courier at cost. Courier (NZ Post) is $11.50, plus approximately $3 extra for RD, but you can get up to six calendars for the one shipping cost. I've managed to source some home compostable bio plastic courier bags from a New Zealand Company called R3.
If you are in the Hutt, you are welcome to pick up from Woburn and save the courier cost. GST Tax invoices available when calendars arrive back from the printers. Payment on invoice by deposit into my account or cash on pick-up. Calendars should be ready to ship by end of September.
There is absolutely no problem if you pre-order and then change your mind before I ship them, as the extras I had printed sold out last year and several people missed out.
Email me on louise@louisethomas.co.nz or message me with your address details for shipping, or if you would like to pick up, I'll let you know my address. Thanks for supporting my venture.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
