Kererū only live in Aotearoa New Zealand. Whether you love their classic white singlets, their whooping wingbeats, or their awesome air shows, kererū are as Kiwi as kiwi.
This year the annual Great Kererū Count 2020 runs from 18-27 September.
As well as being real characters of the bush, kererū are also known as the gardeners of the sky –spreading precious seeds of forest giants such as tawa, miro and hinau. Tony Stoddard of Kererū Discovery, who coordinates the count, says kererū can pop anywhere
“At this time of the year kererū will be flocking to trees like willow and tree lucerne. These trees are kererū-magnets as the birds come out of their winter-feeding grounds and prepare for the breeding season by feeding on the nitrogen-rich leaves.”
“In urban areas, kōwhai are another important food source for kererū, and you will often see or hear angry tui defending their trees from hungry kererū.”

It will transform Shelly Bay and the surrounding peninsula into the most exciting new public space in the capital city for decades. The vision includes a cultural centre, museums, a nature centre, forest and seaside walks, aquarium, and a sculpture park overlooking the harbour. An education and research hub with cafes and restaurants, all designed for this beautiful and long-neglected piece of land.
Shelly Bay, gateway to the park, is currently threatened by a 350-apartment high-density luxury housing estate, with plans being developed for several hundred more houses on Watts Peninsula, which would effectively push the public out of this area. The national heritage park is the alternative we’ve all been waiting for,
Join us! Step one is ensuring that Wellington City Council does not sell or lease the key public land at Shelly Bay to the property developer, allowing high-density housing in the midst of the future park.

From 1 July 2021, all Lower Hutt households will receive one wheelie bin for rubbish, another wheelie bin for mixed recycling, as well as a crate for glass. Households will also be able to opt-in to receive a green waste bin.
By rolling out the new system to all ratepayers everyone in our community will now have easy and affordable access to kerbside rubbish and recycling services says Council’s Chief Executive Jo Miller.
“This is the single biggest change Council has made to improving sanitation, and reducing the amount of rubbish around our city. The decision by Council will have a significant and positive impact on our environment. An effective recycling system will cost the city less over time as landfill charges increase.”
