Palm Oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the fruit of the Oil Palm Tree. About 50 percent of supermarket products have palm oil in them- from soaps to potato chips, cosmetics to detergents.
Every hour, about 35 football fields of forest are cut down to make way for Palm Oil plantations. In result, endangered species such as Sumatran Tigers and Orangutans are losing their habitats.
In New Zealand producers can legally list Palm Oil as one of 200 different names on the packaging of their products, making it impossible to buy palm oil free products!

and sign the letter to help us to get closer to NAMING PALM OIL!
Thank you for helping to make the world a better place!
Is there anyone who is, or knows of, an archaeologist or paleontologist be willing to come along on a Thursday evening to talk to the Rangers (13 to 16 year old Guides) about their job.
Huge thank you to all of the people who have supported our 2017 Biscuit campaign!
However, its not to late to get your biscuit fix as we still have some original and chocolate biscuits available. $3.50 per packet.
Let me know if you would like to purchase and I will arrange to get them to you.
