Poll: Space or the Ocean — Where should our focus be? ☄️🌊

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Poll: Is the Government doing enough now to avoid a serious budget gap in the future? 💸

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Long-Term Fiscal Statement just dropped. At first glance, it might seem a bit dry, but the message is pretty clear ... and a bit worrying. The big takeaway? Our financial pressures are only going to keep growing.

There’s no single fix. It’ll take a mix of solutions to deal with the … View more

Saturday 8th November
Time: 10.30am
Location: Steel gallery Franklin Arts Centre

“Our rivers and streams are alive with stories, told not in words, but in the drift of mayfly nymphs, the case-building craft of caddisflies, and the quiet persistence of snails and worms. These macroinvertebrates, small yet vital, are the heartbeat of freshwater ecosystems, their presence revealing the health of the waters we all depend on.

Join Chloe as she blends science and art to explore these hidden worlds. Through fieldwork, microscopy, and creative interpretation, she will share how counting bugs can help protect our waterways, and how beauty can be found in even the smallest of lives.”
