Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November and we will swap your weed with a lovely native plant. We will have specimens of pest animals that are threatening our native species and will provide trapping demonstrations. Loads of fun for the kids! We will have a catchment model at our stall to play with to learn about sediment, streams, gullies and wetlands.
Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance. See you there.

On the Kāpiti Coast, there’s a little group making lots of noise.
The Kāpiti Coast Climate Action Group, are a band of suitably concerned climate activists raising awareness of the issues the coast will inevitably face as the earth warms.
In October, Sophie Handford and Rachel Barwell joined the Climate Leadership Transformation Summit in Zambia via Zoom, where the impacts of climate change are already significant.
The group was established in May 2019 by their mutual friend, former Kāpiti mayor Jenny Rowan, who rallied friends, asking: What can we do locally that can make a difference?
