From species monitoring to predator management and forest regeneration, our expert rangers work hard to ensure that vulnerable species like the tītipounamu/rifleman will still be here spreading into neighbouring forests and your backyards for generations to come.
But, we need your help to continue. Your donation will support our conservation and infrastructure teams to keep the valley safe and help the wildlife to thrive! Please donate today.
Thank you,

"Bush robins/toutouwai (Petroica longipes) have an open heart, they roam tramping tracks without fear because it doesn’t occur to them to be afraid. They have no armour on their personalities. If they were humans they would help you change your tyre and laugh about the experience.
They will stand on your shoes if you sit too long. And rummage inquiringly while you unpack your pack. I read once that the open-hearted will inherit the Earth. I hope it’s true – that it is better to be possibly hurt than hardened. But the open-hearted are often preyed upon by the ambitious. It might be why the robin is at risk and declining – he’s just a little too trusting of those that would eat him. Bushy Park, July 2021."
Hi neighbours, I have an unusual request. Recently we opened a bottle of champagne - we took the wire cage off & left it on the bench. While we weren't looking the cork exploded out thus smashing one of the green lampshades which hang over the bench.

While we weren't looking the cork exploded out thus smashing one of the green lampshades which hang over the bench. Does anyone have one with which they would part please. I've added pix - I hope they come out. Thanx, John.

Kia ora koutou,
Just a wee reminder that glass will NOT be collected while we are in Level 4.
The Delta variant is highly transmissible, and glass recycling is predominantly bottles which may carry saliva residue.
Please do not put your glass crate out for now 💚

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.
Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.

The house has 3 double bedrooms, a study, 2 bathrooms, a separate toilet room, double garage with a man cave on top and lots of storage. Also has off street parking - which is a bonus. It is in the zone of lots of good schools within the Wellington area. There is a garden so it would be ideal to find someone who loves gardening but not essential. We do allow pets but they need to be well trained. It is situated close to the Kelburn Village and the bus stops. It is walking distance to the CBD and very close to the Botanical gardens. It is $875 per week. If you are interested please feel free to message me below. Unfortunately due to Lockdown level 4 you will be unable to view this property until we drop a level. The house is empty so available as soon as the level allows us. Note house is unfurnished but whitewhare is provided.
Listed Friday - gone by Sunday. These two- and three-bedroom townhouses in Days Bay were all sold off the plan within two days.
With a few Resene testpots, simple shapes can become fun kid-friendly accessories.
