Selwyn and Dianne June established the Waikato Hauraki Conservation Fund at Momentum Waikato with a significant donation in 2021, with the intent of creating a long-term source of funding for conservation work anywhere in the Waikato.
They invite the public to donate and grow the Fund’s ability to support local predator control and other conservation projects by volunteers and landowners.
“We want to help people get active and achieve things in protecting the environment,” says Selwyn.
“The practical purpose of the Conservation Fund is to remove the barriers a group may face in carrying out a conservation activity,” says Dianne.

Please give generously this Daffodil Day, Friday 25 August and Saturday 26 August.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.
Needing clothes for your children - children’s clothing is further reduced so take this opportunity to grab a bargain.
The shop is having an end of season boot clearance. There are lots of lovely boots waiting for new owners so pop in and have a look.

He cleaned around our pool area after a storm recently as we were busy at work. He is always first to help others whenever he can whether they have an issue with their unit or a stranger having car trouble out on the street - They don’t come better!"
