Level 2 @ Coast Access Radio
Greetings...our part of New Zealand drops to Level 2 as from 11.59pm Tuesday 7 September (basically from Wednesday).
For us, this means we can welcome back our programme makers and guests, and other volunteers who help us.
We ask that if you are coming to the station, please wear a mask, scan or sign in, and keep physically distancing, as per the covid guidelines.
We also ask that for now, to keep your visits to a minimum. Please only come in if you have a scheduled appointment, recording session, broadcast, or other authorised duties on station. Once we drop to a level 1 or equivalent, then we welcome social visits again.
And if you're feeling unwell, or unsafe, stay home.
We endeavour to keep things running as normally as possible.
Any questions or enquiries, please ask.
I know not all of our volunteers have access to this message through Facebook, so where possible please spread the word.
Thank you very much for your efforts.
Todd
Station Manager.
Some Choice News!
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!
