O.T.P. Art Exhibition 2018 is looking for people
We are about to start organising next January's One Tree Point Art Exhibition. The size of the event will be on a bigger scale than the 2017 one was.
We are looking for three more people to join our organising committee. It would be preferred but not essential that these people should have some art experience and be able to work as a group with the rest of the committee.
We also require the services of a business-minded person to chair the committee. This position could be filled by a retired manager or self-employed person.
These positions will be voluntary and may take up some spare time, particularly as the event draws near.
Putting on last January's exhibition was a real buzz and very successful with artists who were very driven and a pleasure to work with.
If you're interested please contact Anne Coutts or email ancowhg@vodafone.net.nz
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!
