A surprising and disturbing discovery
The videos tell the tale. Even in October, after months of trapping rats and a month of trapping possums, the Wetland clearly has a pest problem. It seems we've finally discovered who is responsible for tipping the boxes over and eating the peanut butter outside and inside the traps!!

Tiritiri Matangi
This is Liz, one of the Tiritiri educators talking to us about being volunteers, changing our behaviour and working to create an invader free NZ. She gave us an informative and fun lesson about protecting our native wildlife.

Yellow Admiral Butterflies
We got a very special delivery to school this morning, some yellow admiral caterpillars. We are excited to have the chance to watch these caterpillars munch through our stinging nettle and turn into pupa and then butterflies. We'd like to thank Wendy Barber, from Cambridge for sending the cats by overnight courier and to the Monarch Butterfly trust for leading us to Wendy. They are so furry and have cute heart-shaped faces.

Official Butterfly, bee and bug habitat opening
What a beautiful morning to have guests, Northland Regional Councillor, John Bain, Enviroschools Northland co-ordinator, Susan Karels, Primary Enviroschools facilitator, Julie Holt and NRC Pest Biosecurity officer, Steve Henderson, along to school to help us officially open our new Butterfly, bee and bug habitat.
The enviro team and the senior students have worked hard over the last 6 months to turn an enormous area of garden, overgrown with kikuyu, into a new habitat, complete with artwork, butterfly watering hole and NZ native and introduced plants, some of which will be used to make natural creams and balms for sale.
While at school the students also took our guests on a tour of the Wetland and showed them the new bridge built by Mr Darwent. Our visitors were the first to use the new QR codes which are to be printed on metal tree labels for use by the students and community.
Here are a few of the pics from the day.
