Friday Feathered Friend

Reporter Community News

A fantastic photo by Simon Woolf.

"Talk about special! Our garden had a lovely fleeting visit this morning.
I heard the tune, and knew instantly it wasn't a Tui!
A Korimako, our native Bellbird are often heard but rarely seen. To have one flitting around our place was so wonderful to see, and hear. The blue around the Korimako's bill and face is pollen from our native fuschia. Over the past few days the luck I've had in our garden has been amazing. Karori is one great place to see a range of native, and sometimes rare and beautiful wildlife."

Micro-Volunteering Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

Happy Micro-Volunteering Day!

Today is about acknowledging the power of small, meaningful mahi that create a big impact. Whether you have 5 minutes or an hour, there's always something you can do to support your community, spread kindness or make a difference.

You don't need to commit to anything long-term - just a little time, effort and aroha.

Here are just a few examples of micro-volunteering!
