Full Sanctuary Tracking Card Run - Rotokare Scenic Reserve

Wendy Richards from Volunteering New Plymouth

This coming Sunday 11th May 2025 we will start collecting the tracking cards for this round of full sanctuary pest monitoring. It is a huge job with over 1500 cards to collect from all corners of the sanctuary. We require as many fit, confident people as possible to make this job easier.
If you are keen to help please be at Rotokare by 9.00am on Sunday morning.


We also have a special request for additional assistance to help organise the card collectors and someone to prepare lunch for the volunteer team. If you are interested in helping with these roles please contact me.

Cheers

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!
