We are a group vouluntry restoring the native flora to the Awarua valley area and can always do with more help.
We meet every Tuesday 11 am at Awarua Street Station and improve that area into Cummings Park and each month on the first Sunday of the month we meet at 10.30 am and of Awarua Street Ngaio. This time of the year we are mostly weeding in preperation for planting in winter as we have over 400 plants on order. Garden gloves essential tools can be provided but if you have loppers or pruning saw would help.
You may be interested to know according to Dr Philip Hulme our top botanist that the exotic plants that have gone wild are a bigger threat to our environment then the pest animals imported into Aotearoa.

Desexing your pets

Flo from Khandallah

Hi Neighbours
It's kitten season and with warmer weather lasting longer, its probably kitten season all year. To combat unwanted kittens, please consider having your pet desexed.
There are many organisations that will help financially with this.

Adopt a cat

Desex your cat

Desexing your cat is the right thing to do.

Making sure that cats can't reproduce helps keep down the number of unwanted cats in Wellington.

Many unwanted cats are dumped and end up as strays, leading dangerous and unhealthy lives.

We know the cost of desexing stops many owners from getting their cats fixed. That’s why we help pay for some desexing operations.

With the support of our amazing vets in the Wellington area, we can offer desexing at $30 for males and $50 for females to owners who are eligible.

Eligibility

If you have a Community Services Card or Student ID and live in the Wellington area, you may be eligible for this offer.

If you don’t meet our criteria but cannot afford to get your cat desexed at normal vet rates, email us: desexing@catsprotectionwellington.org.nz.

The fee is paid directly to the vet when you take the cat in for surgery.

If a female cat is found to be pregnant at less than 6 weeks, you will need to pay another $20 to cover the extra cost of the operation.

Apply to desex your cat

The shelter is at 29 Vancouver Street, Kingston, Wellington.

Open to visitors on Saturday and Sunday:

12pm – 3pm: Appointments for adoptions only

3pm – 4pm: No appointment needed, but no adoptions at this time.

The basement unit – one of five units in a residential building on Jessie St in Te Aro – has two bedrooms and access to a private bathroom, upstairs from the unit itself, on the ground floor of the building.

We do a wide range of drainlaying work with one of the most common problems we see being #DrainBlockage. Blockages occur for a number of reasons; foreign matter dropped down the drain, tree root intrusion, overloading, collapse, misalignment... (to name a few)

Our staff can help identify and clear the blockage. "Clearing a blocked drain is not regarded as drainlaying, however, anytime a drain is opened up, altered, reconstructed, extended or repaired then that work can only be legally undertaken by a licensed drainlayer."(NZPGDA)

She was top seed and fought hard all week to reach the final against Elise Tse from Auckland. They played a 3 set match, which went for 2 hrs 45 mins. Jade won the 1st set, Elyse took the 2nd, so that set them up for the decider which Jade won. Final score 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. Congratulations Jade, and we believe you are now ranked in the top 200 junior women players in the world!
