Help Oke to Grow Mighty Kids...

Paul from Manukau - Wiri

Hey folks, this June Oke is proud to have been selected as a charity for the One New Zealand "One Good Kiwi" App and we would love it if you'd vote for Oke and help increase our share of the $100,000! 💥

It's been a really epic year for Oke so far and we're currently planning working bee #32 at Kereru Park Campus on Saturday 24th June. This will be our fifth school garden build of 2023, which is incredible as we're only in June and we've only ever built seven school gardens in a single year before now. We have an ever growing waiting list of schools (ten on the list at the moment, with each @ $20,000) and in order to support all our amazing school gardens, we're looking to grow the Oke Crew as well. In March we bought on board our new Oke School Mate, who assists the schools with gardening workshops, planting resources, term and season guides and that helping hand to keep things growing. 🐛 💛

All you need to do to help, is hit that link below and throw the tokens our way, so we can grab as much of that $100k as possible and continue to Grow Mighty Kids! 🌱 💛

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
