Ōtaki Repair Café - Come and "use" our skills 🙂

Hanna from Otaki District

"I'm so happy and thrilled. Steve managed to get the lever fixed and the speed slowed. This gramophone is an heirloom from my grandfather just sitting unused in our living room. Now we can listen and enjoy the old 78's again." One of the many happy stories we hear from the people who come with their broken, blunt and unused items to the Repair Café. They hope that they can be fixed - some of the items have been sitting for years in sheds and garages, or they might have simply become unusable. This is the chance for their second life and your win.
Bring your items that need fixing - Sunday 21 March from 10 to 2pm.
We are at the Memorial Hall, Ōtaki .

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!
