A big thank you to the UoA Alumni volunteers who helped tackle the climbing asparagus ‘plantation’ last week.
This involved some tough and precarious walking through the many hectares of bush on our BirdCare Aotearoa property which backs onto the Manukau Harbour.
The climbing asparagus is a difficult weed to work with but the team worked well together and made a significant dent. There is still plenty left though!
Our bush is full of nikau, from new regenerating plants to very old trees. And the volunteers delighted in the learnings, the positive vibes and the beautiful surroundings. Thanks you very much!!
There are further volunteer days planned for during the week when the weather is a bit drier, so if you’d like to help us win the war against climbing asparagus…

Get in touch!

Join Our Team

BirdCare Aotearoa (formerly NZ Bird Rescue) provides professional care for rescued wild birds – both native and non native. As well as running a hospital in Green Bay, Auckland, we provide education and training for volunteers, professionals and the wider community. The organisation has undergone significant improvements over the past 3 years. We have an upgraded facility and a professional and energetic team of staff on board.

Due to illness, we are urgently looking for 2 new Board members who can provide the governance needed to ensure the long term success of the organisation. We are ideally looking for applicants with commercial experience, preferably with a financial or staff management background. Previous Board experience in a non profit organisation would be ideal but not essential. While a passion for our birdlife is great, no previous experience in bird care is necessary.

Board members are required to attend a monthly meeting in Green Bay, in addition to other tasks as required. To apply, send your cv with covering letter to Miriam Whelan mwhelan045@gmail.com.

Applications close Thursday 8th July.
Get in touch if this sounds like you!
