Thousands of native trees and plants will be planted on the site which will also act as a storage basin, reducing flooding in the surrounding area, while the 2.75 hectare forest will attract native birdlife. The logs lining the waterways are reclaimed from the Avon River corridor, removed as part of work to strengthen the stopbanks. The Linwood Lower Fields work should be finished in September.

I had to get a new battery for car and then lost my navigation system. It had all radio stations saved etc and have lost all that. Also i need the navigation system to work to be able to change the digital clock which I haven't been able to do. I know I can take car to Honda and get them to look at it but would be quite costly so wondering if anyone else has any ideas?

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

Copied and pasted on behalf of Virginia from Spreydon (who is Nate's Mum).  Like she said if we all just pledged $5 dollars they would easily get to their goal and beable to start this venture.  How exciting for them and for Christchurch.

Hi to all you wonderful Neighbourly folk

My son, Nate, and his wife, Alyssa, are working hard to raise $25000 to help start the first every cat cafe in South Island right here in Christchurch!

They only have 1 week to go to raise the last $8000 and so I'm spreading the word about their crowd-funding project where people can pledge from just $5.00. Every pledge has a corresponding reward. Pledges will only become donations when the $25000 goal is reached.
Every pledge will be greatly appreciated and help to make a wonderful new place for people to meet, have a cuppa and something delicious to eat and interact with Cat Rescue cats and kittens - you could also give a special, forever home to one of the cats or kittens that will be available for adoption.

Check out the Catnap Cafe crowdfunding project and facebook page in the links below. 

Many thanks
Victoria
