Art Trail Manawatu
ART TRAIL MANAWATU 2021
ARTITUDE with COLOUR and COFFEE are taking part in this year's ART TRAIL MANAWATU 2021. We will be at TE AWAHOU NIEUWE STROOM in Foxton, which is right next door to the iconic Windmill. We have extended the days from this Friday 15th to Tuesday 19th October 10am to 4pm. Come on down and support your local artists who will be painting on-site each day. There will be a great selection of affordable art on offer, great for Christmas presents, updating your decor or just treating yourself to something special. Take in a coffee or cup of tea and a yummy treat from the on-site Cafe.
Don't forget our amazing Auction on Sunday 17th October at 1pm when the fabulous FOXTON'S FUNKIEST LANDMARK'S Painting will go under the hammer.

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!
