Mystery griddle plate E92

Charlotte from Feilding

My husband was at an apt in Palmerston North today. He heard some strange rattling in his car and discovered someone had put a griddle plate in his car. We can only assume that someone did this accidentally as they had gone to the effort to protect it with cardboard. Does anyone know anything about… View moreMy husband was at an apt in Palmerston North today. He heard some strange rattling in his car and discovered someone had put a griddle plate in his car.

Tree pruning

Jack from BlackJack Trees

I have been out of action for the past couple weeks due to some health issues so to those who tried getting in touch from my last post I apologise I couldn’t respond to you in a reasonable time frame.

I have been out of action for the past couple weeks due to some health issues so to those who tried getting in touch from my last post I apologise I couldn’t respond to you in a reasonable time frame.

My name is Jack and I have made this small tree business as ‘side hustle’ to my full time job as an apprentice arborist, working for 1-2 Tree Services. I think doing my own tree work on a part time basis will compliment my apprenticeship training.

Unlike other large and well established tree companies, I unfortunately don’t have all the fancy machinery and equipment available at my disposal (such as a wood chipper) so my ability to remove waste from properties could be a problem for some. Fortunately I do have the basic tools for pruning such as a small chainsaw and a pole pruner. I am also familiar with climbing techniques and have my own climbing equipment, If the job requires me to climb.

Services I provide are:

-Crown reduction
-Crown lifting
-Crown thinning
-Crown cleaning (dead,diseased,dying)
-Drone and cat rescue

I am choosing not provide tree removal as a service because I do not have the skills and experience in that type of work right now. Depending on the size of the tree and it’s condition, it can be extremely dangerous. I suggest contacting 1-2 Tree Services for tree removals and more risky pruning jobs.

Please contact me through email with what your after (provide a photo if possible) if your interested.

This month we want to challenge Neighbourhood Supporters to come together and give generously from the heart this holiday season. With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.

Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.

Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
