You’re invited to boost high-impact conservation funding
There are simply too many good conservation projects asking for support, all of them offering volunteer time-and-energy and well-designed plans to counter local ecological challenges but needing resources to enable the actual work.
That’s the ongoing challenge facing the Waikato Catchment Ecological Enhancement Trust – the WCEET, and why they have partnered in a new public donation initiative with Momentum Waikato.
“Without any promotion, our funding rounds are always over-subscribed,” says WCEET Chair Gwyn Verkerk.
“So we’ve set up the WCEET Fund with Momentum Waikato, as both a new investment income stream in its own right, and to provide an easy way for the public to donate towards the expansion and long-term sustainability of this crucial local conservation funding.”
Approach road to new Piarere roundabout set to open
From Tuesday next week road users can look forward to a more complete roundabout experience in Piarere, with the final permanent approach road towards Hamilton set to open.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) has announced traffic is planned to be switched onto the new approach on February 25 - weather permitting.
Poll: Have you seen vandalism around your area?
Vandals’ repeated attacks on Nawton’s destination playground could force the council to close some of the attractions.
Hamilton’s troubled destination playground is closed once again after more vandalism, with repairs expected to be completed sometime next month.
