The Art of Spoon Carving: Open Now!

The Feilding & District Art Society

These spoons must be held to be believed!

The Art of Spoon Making, exhibition by Robyn Parkinson, is now open to view, hold, admire and inspire! Celebrate the modesty and minimalism of spoons in all their forms – as delicate still life paintings, wall-mounted assemblages, and of course… as cooking utensils.

Robyn will be at Feilding Art Centre from 4pm to 6pm on Wednesday to speak about this latest exhibition. She’ll even be bringing along a demo spoon to show us how she transforms salvaged wood into ‘scrapers’, ‘stirrers’, ‘eaters’ – why not come along on your way home from work?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
