Future Proofing the Silverdale Pioneer Village
To ensure the future viability of key buildings in the Silverdale Pioneer Village we have begun the process of preparing two buildings, the Old Neville Homestead and the Old Parsonage for repiling.
Having been relocated to the Village over the last 55 years, these historic buildings need some attention so that future generations can enjoy them and our collection of artifacts from the early Pioneering days in the Silverdale District.
Volunteers have opened up the access to the building foundations in preparation for Engineers to begin the process of repiling.
Keep an eye out on our Website and Facebook Page as we progress the refurbishment over the next few months.
Any donations or sponsorship towards the very high cost of doing this work will be gratefully received and our bank account details are on our web site.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
