Give us a Helping Hand!
This coming Thursday, August the 16th, join us, NMIT and members of the community at Kellys Bush in Enner Glynn Road for another great Mitre 10 MEGA Nelson Helping Hands Project.
This is a priceless piece of NZ Native bush, home to the rare Nelson Green Gecko, and the Parera duck. We will be improving their habitat by planting trees, doing some landscaping and some building.
Call Murray on 5470887 or email murray.leaning@meganelson.co.nz if you want to help.
There will be a dawn blessing at 6.30am, and we will provide an awesome BBQ lunch and drinks. Bring boots, rainwear and a spade or grubber if you have one.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
