We are planning new plantings over several hectares extending our precious forest. Those wool insulations will provide perfect protection for our new plants keeping them moist and stopping them getting swamped by weeds and grass. Bundles of them can be left on the verandah of our Forest Manager at 15 Pitt St, Whanganui or if this is not convenient, phone 027 265 0082 and we will see what we can arrange for pickup.

Something special this Sunday 27th March 7pm, 256 Wicksteed Street.
PSYCHOMETRY with three of our locals.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Bring along a small personal object (a crystal, piece of jewellery etc).
Place your item on a tray as you enter.
Our mediums will select an item and by tuning into its vibration, bring forward a message to the owner without knowing who that is.
Sounds like fun and you WILL get your items back 😉
Come along on Sunday and enjoy the friendly vibe of our Centre.
There will be a $1 raffle, healing time and a cuppa. Koha appreciated.

High risk of wildfires

Ashleigh from Neighbourly.co.nz

Fire and Emergency NZ are asking residents in Manawatu-Whanganui to check on historic fires within the past month and ensure these are fully extinguished.

Community Risk Manager Kerry O’Keefe shares that several large wildfires have started recently due to strong winds reigniting old fires.

To check these historic fires, residents are asked to dig it up, pour water over it and use the back of your hand to check there is no heat left.

"Check the fire danger and weather forecast. If there is high or extreme fire danger, or it’s hot and windy - please don’t light a fire. In these conditions, it’s too risky that your fire could spread and get out of control," Kerry says.

"Let’s all do our part to prevent a wildfire, and keep our firefighters from attending an avoidable callout."

Before lighting any further fires in the Manawatu-Whanganui area, check the conditions by heading to www.checkitsalright.nz...
