Conservation funds welcome your donation...

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Many people want to volunteer for conservation work, but more money is always needed to resource the labour offered.

Which is why there are three conservation-focused philanthropic investment funds at Momentum Waikato - donations grow ongoing income for local activities.

The Fund for Nature Hauraki-Coromandel support includes kiwi protection, trap building and training.

The Waikato Catchment Ecological Enhancement Fund supplies plants and pest control kit.

The Waikato Hauraki Conservation Fund is a ‘gap filler’ for things that volunteers need that are not usually funded.

Andrew Bydder eyes Waipā mayoralty after sweary submission

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The city councillor censured after a foul-mouthed submission to Waipā District Council, including a jibe at mayor Susan O’Regan, is now seriously considering running for her job.

Councillor Andrew Bydder - a Waipā-based architectural designer - said on Friday he’d been asked by “dozens” of fellow locals to run for mayor at next year’s council elections.
