EXPRESSION OF INTERESTS WHO SITES ARE NOW OPEN UNTIL 19th JULY. Please read info, link is at the bottom to complete if you haven't already via the one sent out on email.
💥 Expressions of Interest open from 1st July - Sat 19th July. All applicants will be notified the week of 28th July if they have been successful or not.
💥 All expressions of interest need to be filled out on the official link when they open. We will not be responding to private messages, texts, phone calls, emails requesting a site. For those who have emailed and on our mailing list you will receive the link before it is made public.
💥 If you have attended in the past this does not mean you are automatically given a site. We have had people this week thinking this is how it works. Unfortunately, we have a process so please follow this.
💥 We have capped 100 sites.
💥 There will be limited food sites this year capped at 8. This doesn't include Homemade Baking sites in this category.

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!
