Tree Planting Day at Woodall Park Pump Track
Sunday 29th Sep
9 am to 12 midday.
Please join this community event to plant trees and make a positive impact on the surrounds of the pump track.
Brett Garea from BGE Environments has kindly donated plants for us to plant on the day. Devonport Rotary will also supply plants purchased from our very own local RTH Native Plant Nursery. These plants are required to fill a few gaps and help stabilise the sides of the jumps.
Make it a family day! We encourage you to bring along your children so that they can plant their very own trees in this popular community space.
Please bring along your spades for digging and gardening gear such as rakes, weed eaters and clippers to trim the weeds and groom the track.
There will be some vouchers for a free coffee at Narrow Neck Beach Cafe after the planting.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
