Mentors Wanted to Support Creative Kids

The Feilding & District Art Society

We are still on the hunt for skilled artists to share their knowledge with the next generation of New Zealand creatives.

In a partnership with Kawakawa Kahui Ako, and supported by Eastern and Central Community Trust, we're running a mentoring program that will pair artist mentors with ambitious mentees. With your help and support, our mentees will set and work toward their creative goals over three terms, starting May 2022.

If you're someone who can help our local tamariki thrive by sharing your artistic knowledge, apply to be an artis mentor today!

Just email a CV and short bio to info@feildingartsociety.com. We're also happy to answer any questions you may have.

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!
