Community projects wanted. Mens Shed Auckland East
Do you have a community project we can help with?
Mens Shed Auckland East Inc undertakes many community projects, large and small.
We have 170 volunteer members with a wide range of skills and can work in wood, metal, and many other materials. For example, we build and repair play equipmenSkiled people at t for Kindies and schools, build outdoor benches for hospices and public spaces, make cubby hole arrays and notice boards for churches – and we have just completed our 6,000th rat-trap as part of the Predator Free NZ initiative. Our charges are very modest and reflect our volunteer workforce. Note: we are not a “repair shop” providing services to private individuals.

Some Choice News!
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!
