Howick Croquet Club School holiday program Mon 20th - Fri 24th January

Vanessa from Sunnyhills

Howick Croquet Club are working really hard to introduce the sport of croquet to the youth in our local area. We are running a school holiday program from Monday 20th - Friday 24th January from 1 - 3pm. As we have received a grant from KIWISPORT, this covers the cost of youth green fees and mallets for this program. If you are aged between 12 - 18 and want to find out more about croquet, come along on those days to our clubrooms at 67 Millhouse Drive, Howick. Who knew that croquet is a very strategic sport and can help youth who have challenges like anger management, some physical disabilities, ADHD, PTSD. It is a non gender sport for all ages.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
