Forest & Bird Local Branch Meeting & Guest Speaker
For our next branch meeting our guest speaker will be Des Ratima Deputy Chair of Biodiversity Hawkes Bay, whose topic will be ‘Kaitiakitanga v Ownership':
In the world of te taiao it is the responsibility to te taiao that is important, not the exploitation of te taiao. Having sustainable practices and mutual reciprocity between the requirements of man v the needs of Te Taiao. This is an inherent requirement of a kaitiaki.
Where: St Marks Hall, on the Corner of Queen St East and Park Rd North, Hastings
When: 7.30pm on Thursday 11th March 2021
ALL WELCOME
Note: As long as Covid-19 remains at level 2 for the Hawkes Bay, we will be proceeding with the monthly branch meeting and observing the appropriate protocols. If there is any change, we will notify you prior to the meeting.

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
