Myrtle rust is a fungus that can destroy our native and taonga trees such as pōhutukawa, mānuka, kānuka and rātā. It also attacks feijoa trees.

Severe infestations can kill affected plants and have long-term impacts on the regeneration of young plants and seedlings. And it’s now in New Zealand – the first sighting has been reported in Kerikeri.
If you see it, DO NOT TOUCH OR DISTURB THE PLANT. Please take a photo and call us immediately on 0800 80 99 66.

Had to fetch ours from the garage (telling him he'd have to put the jigsaw puzzle back as it was).
What a palaver!

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

Social Media: ideal for Native advertising - building trust with informative and interesting posts
Online: a heaving beast that is still evolving, using safe and premium environments is a must. Branding and performance campaigns depending on the objectives, can track
Some important questions for any business:
Q1: Who is my target market
Q2: Where do they look
Q3: What is my budget
q4: What is a successful campaign (sales, clicks, website traffic, awareness etc)
The best practice is to view advertising & marketing as an investment and treat it as such - repetition = reputation!

How does it work?
Red Cross Journey is all about walking in someone else’s shoes. Choose a journey to follow, clock 10,000 steps each day between 8 May and 8 June and get people to sponsor you.
Along the way, you’ll receive updates marking your milestones and sharing more about your chosen journey.
