ON TOMORROW - Weave for our awa with Taura awa
Thursday 18 July, 10–11.30am, Kāpiti Boating Club, Paraparaumu Beach
Our Libraries have teamed up to host Taura awa – a joint community effort to weave tī kōuka (Cabbage tree) fibres into ropes that will guide our native whitebait through artificial structures such as culverts, helping them complete their migration. This project is the inspiration of Ōtaki weavers Sue Barrett, Denise Parata, and Mohi from Waikanae ki Uta ki Tai.
The session is free and there’s no need to register. Just turn up on the day and get involved!

So we want to hear what you think:
