Volunteers Needed for Spring into Tawa

Tracey from Tawa

📅 Saturday 18 October, 10am–3pm

The team is getting excited (and a little nervous!) as the date gets closer. We are now meeting weekly to make sure everything is ready for a successful event.

But—we need your help!
We can’t run this event without our wonderful volunteers. A huge thank you to those who have already put their hands up, but we still need more—especially with our extended event this year.

If you can give even just one hour of your time, that would be fantastic.

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!
