Partnership to boost large scale conservation efforts in Te Tauihu
Iwi, local councils and the Department of Conservation came together in 2017 to form the Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance to improve conservation outcomes across the top of the south. A recent partnership with international charity The Nature Conservancy means the alliance can now draw on the expertise of large scale conservation initiatives from around the world.


Seed Sharing for Neighbours Day!
We love how creative some people are with their plant giving! This is for goodie bags for a 7 year olds party but we reckon you could borrow this wonderful idea for the Neighbours Day Aotearoa Great Plant Swap!
What a lovely gift to get and it's not just kids who love sunflowers.
ADDED BONUS: if you give your neighbours sunflower seeds you would get to enjoy their beautiful flowers too!
Have you signed up for Neighbours Day 2021 yet? There's lots of ways you can join in...check out our website to register today:

Kai Fest cancelled over Covid concerns
Whakatū Marae and Founders Heritage Park made the joint decision to cancel the festival, scheduled for Waitangi Day, taking into account an “incredibly challenging” 2020, and the ongoing threat of Covid-19.
What do you think of the decision - and will it affect your Waitangi Day plans?
