Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022
Hutt City Council and the local artist behind Wonky Stitches NZ invite you to join us on a unique bird counting event around the Lower Hutt city centre for all ages.
Don your winter woollies, grab your binoculars, and invite your friends and family for an afternoon of scavenger hunting to find these uniquely created yarn birds. Don’t forget to register your participation at facebook.wonkyStitchesNZ and you can pick up a copy of the map at the War Memorial Library!
A Crochet Workshop will be running during the Bird Count at War Memorial Library. The proceeds from this will be going to Wellington Harbour Little Blue Penguin Study (Penguin People).
This event is sponsored by About Space Hutt City, a programme that places active and creative projects in vacant spaces, to add vibrancy to the city.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
