A big thank you to everyone who helped out with the Sanctuary's first annual street Collection Day last week. We raised a grand total of $8,459.20! Over 150 volunteers collected at various locations around Wellington, including MP Marian Hobbs, who collected outside Parliament during her lunckbreak. Every cent raised will go towards vital habitat restoration and species recovery work at the Sanctuary, bringing rare wildlife back to Wellington. (More...)
