FREE STUFF on NEIGHBOURLY
The Free Stuff category is the perfect place to list your unwanted items for neighbours in need, or discover what you can take off your neighbours' hands.
** To advertise free items, simply post a message in the usual way and select Free Stuff as the category.
** In respect for your fellow members, please be clear about the quality of any items you are giving away. If you are not genuinely in need of free items, or have recently claimed one, please allow some time before claiming other items so that others can benefit from this category too.
** If you're on the hunt for a number of free items, consider listing these all in a post so that your neighbours can make any offers.
** Please note that it is not good Neighbourly practice to onsell items you have claimed without expressly discussing this with the person passing them on.
** When claiming free items, you might like to consider paying it forward and keeping the community spirit alive by listing something free yourself!

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!
