The results are in from the annual Upper Hutt bird count survey completed by our Parks team, showing that while you should be seeing plenty of tui, silvereye, fantail and kingfisher around, some of our other native birds are struggling. Pest Free Upper Hutt have teamed up with Upper Hutt Menzshed and are doing great work trapping predators like rats, stoats and weasels that are targeting our native birds and their eggs. If you’re keen to help look after our native birds, get involved by placing a trap next to your compost bin, in your back yard, or become a coordinator.

We don't seem have much in the way of garden centres in UH these days,
BUT .... I just have to alert you all to wonderful selection of trees, shrubs,
bushes, annuals etc in Kaitoke.
I visited there today with a friend, and was extremely impressed by the range of species and the reasonable prices, not to mention the "specials".
Sadly I am not able to fit another plant on my property - but thought I would remind everyone of the existence of this highlight.
If you are looking for something different to enhance your property - head north and go see for yourself.
AND ... as you walk around the site keep your eyes open around the area for some unusual surprises. eg: What do you think a Holly Bush looks like? Go see for yourself :-)
