2022 Wild Birds of New Zealand Calendars

It's that time of year again folks. I'm taking pre-orders for the 2022 Wild Birds of New Zealand calendar now.

It's that time of year again folks. I'm taking pre-orders for the 2022 Wild Birds of New Zealand calendar now.

Like last year these are a large A3-size calendar, with cover printed on 300gsm gloss art board and the pages printed on 150gsm gloss art paper. These are printed locally in Petone at Valley Print. The calendars are $28 each inclusive of GST, plus courier at cost. Courier (NZ Post) is $11.50, plus approximately $3 extra for RD, but you can get up to six calendars for the one shipping cost. I've managed to source some home compostable bio plastic courier bags from a New Zealand Company called R3.

If you are in the Hutt, you are welcome to pick up from Woburn and save the courier cost. GST Tax invoices available when calendars arrive back from the printers. Payment on invoice by deposit into my account or cash on pick-up. Calendars should be ready to ship by end of September.

There is absolutely no problem if you pre-order and then change your mind before I ship them, as the extras I had printed sold out last year and several people missed out.

Email me on louise@louisethomas.co.nz or message me with your address details for shipping, or if you would like to pick up, I'll let you know my address. Thanks for supporting my venture.

Lower Hutt residents are giving up their vege patches and losing their lawn as deer move in on urban areas.
No one keeps tabs on deer numbers but anecdotally they are turning up in a range of urban areas including Naenae, Stokes Valley, Eastbourne and Wainuiomata, as well as the Belmont Regional Park.
The Hutt City Council has a $15,000 fund for culling deer, which is administered by Greater Wellington Regional Council.
Department of Conservation’s biodiversity threats advisor Dave Carlton​ says the deer that help themselves to Taylor’s garden point to a much bigger problem.
There are similar issues in urban areas throughout New Zealand and DOC is working on a national framework to come up with a strategy to deal with deer.
