REMINDER: Annual Matariki Multicultural Tree Planting, Sat 6 July, 10:30-1:30am

todd from EarthDiverse

Just a quick reminder:
ANNUAL MATARIKI MULTICULTURAL TREE PLANTING!
Saturday 6 July 2024, 10:30am-1:30pm.

WHERE: Waiwhakareke Natural Heritage Park, Baverstock Road gate, on the way to the Hamilton Zoo. Please note that this is an updated gate entrance (as we will no longer enter the park from the Rotokauri Rd gate, as previously advertised).

Bring a spade, water, gardening gloves and your gumboots! (we may have some extra spades available).

This event is free, family-friendly, and fun! Bring the family, plant some saplings, and have some food (light lunch and hot drinks provided). Help offset your carbon usage and plant some tree for our City Council in the awesome Waiwhakareke!

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? πŸ’°πŸŒ²

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
