Have you heard about Wild for Taranaki?
Do you know what they are doing in our community?
Their Vision is:
Taranaki biodiversity is restored to a state where it is visibly healthy and provides significant benefit to communities throughout the region.
Tō tatou taiao – Maranga Papatūānuku is our collective commitment to reach a state where Papatūānuku begins to flourish and rise.
This is a very powerful vision for Taranaki as a region and those working in this space fully embrace this Kaupapa.
If you look at their website the first thing you see is our Mounga in the background with:
Take Part
The natural world is our legacy. Every day, action is underway to restore, enhance and protect our unique biodiversity in Taranaki. Be part of making biodiversity thrive in the region, To do this you can go to their Action Hub and sign up to support a project, there are multiple ways that you can become involved, from the gifting of shovels or offering a place for planting of natives, to offering your unique skills and experience to as well as perhaps Organisation know how. By signing up to the action hub you can become part of the bigger picture and make you mahi count.
So why should you be bothered? Let’s start a short list, How about for our kids and grandkids or even great grandkids – and the future world they will be living in. Or perhaps for our community and our own wellbeing into the future, or for all the native plants and animals that make our world a better more beautiful place.
We can make a difference. We can see the difference the trapping efforts have made, bringing more birdsong into our backyards and species like kiwi and kokako being established into areas that they have disappeared from.
This is ongoing mahi and the more effort the more success and you could be part of making this happen by looking to join and supporting the mahi of organisations like Wild for Taranaki. This is the type of project / volunteering that you can be involved with as often as you wish, so no regular commitment is required if that would appeal to you. It is also a volunteering opportunity that you could possibly do with multiple generations and the bonus is that it is an outdoors.
The next event that volunteers are involved with is the Community Snorkel Day – Experiencing Marine Reserves – this is on November 23rd at 12 noon. If you think that you could support this, please make contact.

THE MADNESS has hit. ? Your Thoughts please
BIZZARE IN BUSINESS.long story.🙄
Went to the only Supermarket in Inglewood.Through checkout to pay. Told not allowed to take trollies outside the shop to carpark.Mmm Sooo bit stunned as unable to carry any weight re age body pain injuries etc and need trolly to aid walking where I normally unpack from trolly to car. etc. THEN AHAA thought maybe this is a late APRIL FOOLS a BADTASTE prank.No.Its apparently the
" NEW RULE".NO SIGNAGE that I saw warning of the "NEW RULE".I asked to speak to the manager.DIDNT HAPPEN.Strangely she didn't appear.NOW I'M HOLDING UP THE LINE.I feel embarrassed annoyed overwhelmed.What to do.? No help offered.Staff obviously trying to do what they are told.
Eventually at my repeated request an employee carried my shopping to my car parked just outside the entrance of the smkt..Not a habit of mine to steal a trolly by the way..WHO DOES THAT anyway and why???.
My other option was to go to my car,get my walker out and transport my bags 1x 1 to the car. I'm in alot of pain/ health issues etc.like many others. .Walker not an option.What shall I do?.
Request the checkout person to empty my grocery items so I can retreive my bags containing my shopping and leave my groceries on the counter Then what try to travel 20 km another day when body allows to a SPMKT that hasn't gone tottally mad and actually treats customers with respect and decency and not aposed to help.
My empathy goes to the mostly great people that toil away there and serve us and have to put up with the forever changing difficulties that goes with new management and people service. So whats next..How many customers fancy trudging bag by bag to their cars.? What of large family shoppers,elderly,unwell injured people. Heres a thought or 2 for management.
DO you want your business to grow or do you want to loose more customers? ..Maybe an employee could be designated to collect the trollies. Maybe some trolly bays put in by N.W. to encourage the few customers that don't to return their trollies to do so.Like other smkts do and have done for years.and
Please Whoever's Stealing the Trollies STOP IT and be DECENT HUMAN BEINGS.Lets not loose common courtesys to others because of the $.
Love to have a reply please from the Management of N.W. SMKT explaining your logic and policy going forward.Thankyou.
