World Car-Free Day on Friday 22 September

Communications from Hastings District Council

What are you doing for World Car-Free Day on Friday, 22 September?

Are you stuck for ideas? Maybe you could do a walking bus, a bicycle train or a scooter trail to school with a group and see how many people you can get to join. Dress up your shoes or decorate your bike or scooter for the special occasion. You could even get your kura to hold a wheel’s day.

Take a picture, draw us your design, or write a story about how you got to and from school and work using your bike, scooter or walking, email it to iway@hdc.govt.nz and you go in the draw to win one of our awesome prizes.

Let’s leave the car at home and support cleaner, greener, healthier communities. #worldcarfreeday2023

Speaking on Nature

Greg from Forest & Bird Hastings Havelock North Branch

This month Kay Griffiths (The Conservation Company) is coming to talk about Pekapeka/Bats - the NZ Long-tailed Bat in particular. Classed as nationally critical, a colony has recently been discovered in Central Hawkes Bay. Little is known about the colonies in the area so the Department of Conservation and Lotteries are funding research by The Conservation Company.

When:
7:30pm, Thursday, 11th July 2024

Where:
St Andrews Presbyterian Church Lounge
300 Market Road South, Hastings

ALL ARE WELCOME (bring a friend)
