Pest-Free Pinehaven: the birds need YOU!
Would you like to help out in the effort to make Pinehaven pest free? If so, then join Pest-Free Pinehaven. We have rat tunnels with traps available for a donation of up to $20. We’ll show you the ins and outs of setting your trap and how to register it in our online database. If you already have a trap then you can still join by registering your trap with us and contributing your catch data.
We also provide advice on trapping other pests like possums and stoats, and are working on a trap library for these more expensive traps.
We currently have 65 traps in our network. We need your help to reach our current 200 trap goal. Let’s together make Pinehaven pest free, helping make New Zealand predator free by 2050.
So email pestfree.pinehaven@gmail.com to get trapping!
Pest-Free Pinehaven is part of Pest-Free Upper Hutt, a community group of volunteers with an interest in eradicating rats, stoats, weasels, ferrets and possums from our parks, reserves, backyards and waterways with the aim of restoring birdlife and native bush. Please note that cats are not targeted.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
