Kaipupu Point

Hannah Cunningham from Volunteer Marlborough

A little while ago we started sharing quick stories about some of the local non-profit organisations that are part of the Volunteer Marlborough network. This week, we're shining the spotlight on the team at Kaipupu Sanctuary:⁠

- What is the mission or goal of the Kaipupu Wildlife Sanctuary team? Our vision is "To create a wildlife sanctuary that can be enjoyed by all, forever." To achieve this vision, we work as a team to enrich the community through restoration and guardianship of Kaipupu Wildlife Sanctuary where native plants and animals flourish.⁠

- What do your staff and volunteers do? We are lucky enough to have two part time coordinators who handle administration, compliance, volunteer management, fundraising, events, education, and marketing! We also have an incredible team of volunteers who work on a range of tasks including predator and weed control, maintenance, working bees, education, and guided tours! Our committee are also all volunteers.⁠

- How does your organisation’s work help or develop the community? We are working to create a wildlife sanctuary that can be enjoyed by all who visit. We also have a education programme which promotes kaitiakitanga (guardianship and protection) and respect for the environment.⁠

Marlborough has a busy summer ahead, with plenty on the calendar, the latest being the Fruit Loop Festival, as reported by the Marlborough Express.

We want to know: Are big music and food events a good thing for the region? Does the boost they bring make the crowds worthwhile?
