EarthDiverse: Annual Matariki Multicultural Tree Planting

todd from EarthDiverse

EarthDiverse, the Waikato Interfaith Council, the Waikato Multicultural Council, the Hamilton City Council and other community organisations are co-organising a Community-wide tree planting event to take place in Hamilton on Saturday 15 July 2023, 10:30am-1:30pm (This year’s event will take place Rain or Shine). Please use the Rotokauri Rd entrance, opposite Kourataki Rd instead of the entrance across from the Zoo. If you use the new entrance across from the Zoo you won’t find us as we’ll be on the other side of the Park!

Bring a spade or shovel, gumboots, appropriate outdoor weather gear (e.g. hat, rain gear, sunglasses), some gardening gloves, water and a big smile. If you don’t want to dig there are other ways to help out (like bringing a food donation, or helping with setting out and serving a light lunch). A light lunch will be served (courtesy of EarthDiverse, Kaivolution, Go Eco, Waikato Interfaith Council, the Bahá’í Community, Ahmaddiyya Muslim Community, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Trust, and others). Any ready to eat food donations (e.g. bread, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, baked goods, UHT milk, tea bags, instant coffee, juice, etc.) will be much appreciated. Please bring your own plates, cutlery or mugs in order to minimise waste. 100 people would mean planting 5-10 saplings each.

This event is free, family-friendly and fun! Open to all. Mark this date in your diaries now. Come and help offset your carbon usage!

Did you know about this resignation at HCC?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Now ex-councillor Mark Donovan says the busyness of a new job, frustration over the pace of council decisions and family commitments are the key factors behind his change-of-heart resignation from the city council.

The fiscal conservative’s departure - which means potential for less voting power on what’s seen as the council’s “right” - also comes amid niggles from other councillors about his recent attendance at meetings.
