A ‘gap-filler’ conservation fund established at Momentum Waikato by a local philanthropic couple has made its first round of grants towards predator control and restoration planting projects across the region.

The Waikato Hauraki Conservation Fund was kickstarted by a significant donation by Dianne and Selwyn June in 2021, and then boosted by a donation from the estate of the late John and Bunny Mortimer, who established the Taitua Arboretum.

The new Conservation Fund welcomes public donations that will grow the ongoing investment income it uses to support conservation work by voluntary groups and landowners.

“From what we’ve seen, it is the small things that need reliable funding. For instance, they might need to buy some bait stations, perhaps send some attendees on a first aid course, or buy safety gear” says Dianne.

Exciting news! At long last, on Tuesday February 20, work will begin on reconstructing the historic World War I Memorial Arch at St Andrew's Anglican Church, Pukekohe.
To give the work team full access to the site, you are advised not to park on the driveway into the church grounds from Wesley St or in the area in front of the church. If you do, you're at risk of being towed to give room to the construction vehicles.
Please obey the directions.
The dedication of the arch, by the Anglican Bishop of Auckland, the Right Reverend Ross Bay, is planned for Anzac Day, on Thursday April 25. This will be part of the civic Anzac Day service.

St Andrew's is on the corner of Queen St and Wesley St, Pukekohe.
Pictured is the previous arch before it was smashed by a delivery truck on December 15, 2020.
