Give us a Helping Hand!
This coming Thursday, August the 16th, join us, NMIT and members of the community at Kellys Bush in Enner Glynn Road for another great Mitre 10 MEGA Nelson Helping Hands Project.
This is a priceless piece of NZ Native bush, home to the rare Nelson Green Gecko, and the Parera duck. We will be improving their habitat by planting trees, doing some landscaping and some building.
Call Murray on 5470887 or email murray.leaning@meganelson.co.nz if you want to help.
There will be a dawn blessing at 6.30am, and we will provide an awesome BBQ lunch and drinks. Bring boots, rainwear and a spade or grubber if you have one.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
Earth Emotions Silent Auction
Monday 16th February - Monday 2nd March
Bid on a special collection of 20 unframed prints by local photographers from an exhibition called Earth Emotions.
Glenn Allbrecht's book, Earth Emotions, inspired Ann Wheatley, Emma Jane Hughes and Peter Kemp to create a local exhibition exploring the health of our soils, waters, forests, and people, with support from the Nelson Tasman Climate Forum and the Nelson City Council.
Forty-seven photographers responded to an open call, contributing over 100 images. A selection of these was exhibited at the Refinery Art Space.
