The Sculpture Park and Arboretum
We are pleased to announce that the future of the sculpture park and arboretum is now more assured.
The Art-in-Nature Arboretum Trust is up and running! The inaugural board includes trustees with a wide range of expertise and skills to contribute to the park's operations: Rob Graham (Wintec), Felicity Campbell, Ian McKim, Simon Reynolds, John and Dorothy Wakeling.
Watch this space as this charitable trust drives more initiatives to promote creative and environmental inspiration at the park.
To make it easier for visitors to come into the park an online booking system will be running shortly.
The Trust still needs volunteers for all sorts of projects—please get in touch at sculpturepark1@gmail.com if you are interested.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
