The beautiful world of microscopic freshwater eco systems: Talk with biologist Chloe Senn

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Saturday 8th November
Time: 10.30am
Location: Steel gallery Franklin Arts Centre

“Our rivers and streams are alive with stories, told not in words, but in the drift of mayfly nymphs, the case-building craft of caddisflies, and the quiet persistence of snails and worms. These macroinvertebrates, small yet vital, are the heartbeat of freshwater ecosystems, their presence revealing the health of the waters we all depend on.

Join Chloe as she blends science and art to explore these hidden worlds. Through fieldwork, microscopy, and creative interpretation, she will share how counting bugs can help protect our waterways, and how beauty can be found in even the smallest of lives.”

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Poll: Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

How do we Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the hard stuff?
We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.

Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.

But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
♻️ Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste and get it back into the supply chain?

We’d love to hear your thoughts.
