Free Horse Manure
The Equestrian Centre has a mountain of horse manure that is excellent for garden organic fertilizing. There is approximately between 20 and 30 trailer loads or 100's of bags. Most of the "poo" has been sitting for over 12 months so is full of worms etc. If you want an organic manure you wont get any better and its free for pickup. If you want to take your own bags, that's great just turn up between 9am and 4pm , if you have a trailer (or similar) call "Cat" on tel 021464009, and she will load your trailer with on site digger.
The Equestrian and Vaulting Centre is a Not for Profit organisation built around the community. So while you are there look around a see the awesome work this organisation is doing for our community.

Some Choice News!
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!
