Plant Sale Fundraiser - Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust
The WBRT is a charitable organization operating in Ohariu Valley. The trust takes in over 800 birds, ducks and ducklings each year to rehabilitate them and enable them to be released back into the wild.
To assist with the funding of the trust they are selling a variety of native plants which are available from their base situated at 583 Ohariu Valley Rd Ohariu . The plants are priced to move and those currently available are:
$4.00 each: Mountain flax, NZ Iris, Houpara, Toro, NZ toe toe, Miniature toe toe, Coprosma repens
$6.00 each : Kahikatea, Matai, Rimu
$8.00 each : Griselinia littoralis, Five Finger, Pseudopanax lessonii Sabre
$10.00 each: Pohutukawa, Titoki
Payment options: Cash (there is an honesty box at the stall), self-service EFTPOS machine available at the stall or by direct credit to the bird rehab bank account: 38 9019 0293318 00
There are bulk quantities of plants available (in some cases 100s of each variety) so only a selection of what is available is at the stall. If you are interested in purchasing in bulk, please contact us via julie@583.co.nz

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Garden Open days 8th, 15th and possibly 22nd March, 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa
Hi. This is just a reminder that we are inviting you to come and explore our garden tomorrow from 10.30 until 4pm to share in its early autumn beauty. It took quite a beating from the recent storm but we have worked very hard and it is looking wonderful. Garden entry is $5 per adult and we are collecting donations for the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, Wellington.
We will also have plenty of locally grown flowering plants and succulents for sale so remember to bring plenty of spending money.
See you soon
Carolyn and Rob
