Pūkaha Junior Rangers is a school holiday program with a conservation focus. It's a chance for 5-14-year-olds to experience hands-on learning in Pūkaha's nature reserve. Junior Rangers get up close to wildlife and get to feed the tuna (long-finned eels). They also learn about the ngahere (forest) and how the captive breeding programme at Pūkaha is helping to protect and restore Aotearoa's precious native species. Fun and educational.

We want to give more certainty to community groups for activities that align well with our community outcomes and from next financial year propose to enter into partnership arrangements for multi-year or operational funding.
This will also make it clear the amount of grant budget that has been allocated to such arrangements and how much contestable funds remain for other applications.
Other changes to the policy include amendments to the eligibility and assessment criteria so that we can support those causes most important to us and bringing Community Board and Māori Standing Committee grants together under the one policy.

Prince Philip, who died on Friday aged 99, first earned his wings in a de Havilland Chipmunk two-seater that still frequently takes to the air over Wairarapa.
It's current owner, Masterton pilot Bevan Dewes, 27, was a similar age to the duke when the then 30-year-old embarked on his training with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1952.
The Chipmunk, now housed in a hangar at Hood Aerodrome, proudly bears the royal insignia and Dewes has pulled together a fascinating dossier of its former life, including letters from the prince.
