Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

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

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

Poll: Is the Te Araroa trail on your bucket list? 👟🌳👣

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Great news for Southland adventurers! One of the toughest stretches of the 3,039km Te Araroa trail (from Kaitaia all the way down to Bluff) might soon get an upgrade.

Te Araroa Trust is aiming to raise $30,000 to kickstart a raised timber boardwalk in the Longwoods Forest, making this challenging section a little more enjoyable for future walkers.

We’re curious: Is the Te Araroa trail on your bucket list?
