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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
