Casual volunteering opportunity: Restore a very special freshwater wetland for our community and native birdlife!
On the second Sunday of every month, Grovetown Lagoon Restoration Project hosts a working bee starting at 9:30am and finish at 12 noon.
The goal of these working bees, as with the regular Wednesday sessions, is to enhance the habitat for fish and bird life by:
⋅ planting trees,
⋅ tending the trees that have previously been planted,
⋅ weeding,
⋅ mulching, or more.
Volunteers of any age are welcome to apply. However, volunteers under 16 should be accompanied by an adult, at least for the first few sessions.
Upcoming dates:
⋅ 14th August,
⋅ 11th September,
⋅ 9th October,
⋅ 13th November.

Poll: Would you use a Picton-Blenheim Saturday bus?
The Marlborough District Council plans to trial a Saturday bus between Picton and Blenheim, in response to feedback from Picton residents wanting to visit the new Blenheim library. It would leave Waikawa Bay at 9am and 1pm, and Blenheim's Seymour St at 10.10am and 2pm.
