A great Birthday Party!!
Please support our wonderful Nelson branch of Riding for the Disabled, the hard-working staff who do what they do so well for love as much as pay, all our volunteers and of course all our awesome riders who gain so much from the therapy. We are delighted that once again we will hold the annual Horses Birthday at 11am on Saturday (the perfect day!!) 1 August, giving the community the opportunity to see their work in action. Some riders will demonstrate their riding skills (in some cases this is the only outdoor sport they can participate in), there will be prizegiving and a light lunch. Please support this wonderful institution and help us get rid of the waiting list with donations for much needed additional horses. If you can't come on the day, you can always donate through our Givealittle page - Whakatu RDA

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Should we be pushing a soft-plastics recycling rollout across the whole region 🗑️
Nelson City Council has confirmed that the kerbside soft plastic trial is continuing for the current 1,000 homes. It’s a fantastic step towards being more sustainable, but many of us are still waiting for our turn.
We want to know: Should we be pushing for a rollout across the whole region? Or are you happy to keep using the drop-off points at the supermarket for now?
Is this something your household would actually participate in! ♻️
