Children’s Hospital Annual Street Appeal – Saturday, 5th October
 
When a child needs hospital care, it can be one of the most frightening times for any family.  Our Annual Street Appeal is a key fundraiser and helps ensure that tamariki across our region continue to receive the best possible care - when they need it most.
 
We need Volunteer Collectors across Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Petone, Porirua, and Kapiti.
 
If you can spare just 2 hours of your time on Saturday, 5th October, please consider joining us. Sign up to your preferred location here: https://signup.com/go/WCHStreetAppeal
 
This is also a great opportunity to involve kids in a meaningful holiday activity that benefits their community - younger children (16 years and under) are welcome to volunteer with an adult.  Older students (Year 13 and beyond) can earn valuable volunteer hours for their CV; and it’s a wonderful chance for community or corporate groups to participate in a worthwhile event.
 
For more information, please contact: streetappeal@whf.org.nz  
 
Thank you.  We simply couldn't do it without your help!
Become a Pest Detective and track down rats, stoats and mice in your own back yard!
Learn and use detective skills to help track down pests like rats, stoats and mice. They chew seedlings, nibble seeds, and destroy insects, and eat lizards, big birds and baby birds, and their eggs.
Tickets on sale now for this tu meke workshop.
At the workshop you’ll learn about pests and make a pest tracking tunnel to take home.
Tracking tunnels are easy to make Just like a DOC ranger in the bush you’ll be able to record what is living in your own backyard with your tracking tunnel.
Pests like tunnels They scamper in to get the bait and leave their footprints. Rangers use these footprints to work out what animals are there, where they feed and what traps to set to catch the pests.
After the workshop put the tracking tunnel out in your back yard. Try a few different spots at different times or change the food to see what is popular. Be as sneaky as a stoat!  You can even disguise your tunnel in the roots of a tree or even cover it with sticks.
This workshop is only $10 per child with all materials supplied. (Reserve entry is not included). *Parent/guardian supervision required.
