Sustainable Conservation Conference

Di from Kerikeri District

We are excited to share our Sustainable Conservation Conference Program with you!

We know New Zealand’s heavy use of poisons is damaging our environment and putting our flora and fauna, as well as people at risk. We are ready to have a discussion on the positive changes necessary to bring about the shift away from poisons to an ecologically sound approach that takes the whole ecosystem into consideration. We firmly believe that we can change our ways, it will however, take collective effort and positive solutions.

Please join us for this important conference on April 6 & 7 at the beautiful art space and theatre, Lopdell House in Titirangi, Auckland.

We are humbled to be hosting a diverse group of speakers from around the country, including Professor Ian Shaw, Toxicologist from the University of Canterbury and Professor Wayne Linklater from the University of Victoria, who is a researcher of Wildlife Biology & Human Dimensions Ecology. A huge thank you to all our wonderful speakers - this wouldn't be possible without you, we look forward to lively and informative discussion surrounding the problems we are facing and the variety of positive solutions we can embrace.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
