This workshop is good for beginners who want to finally get their gardens happening this season - we'll cover all the basics. It's also good for the more experienced: you'll leave having your complete planting and maintenance plan for the year sorted, PLUS your first tray of seedlings started - and all your questions answered. You can check out this and other workshops at www.therabbithole.co.nz... and book through the website if you wish. Would love to see you there!

We asked and you told us what you would like us to focus on and below are some of the main themes. For the full story on what we heard go to: haveyoursay.gw.govt.nz...

There is a high demand for more engagement and consultation with community groups, and in general more engagement with the general public.

There were a number of people and groups looking for a more collaborative approach

GWRC should act as more of a facilitator rather than the practitioner, and assist in the coordination of community groups more. We should work with and support community groups.

We need to balance the wants of recreational hunters with the undertaking of pest control, and utilise these groups more.

We'll now go off and do some writing and come back to you with a draft early next year.

Many thanks,

The Biosecurity Team
