Permaculture Introductory Module offered by RECAP in Ashhurst.

Helen King from RECAP

Permaculture Introductory Module.

As a ‘taster’ for those who just want a basic introduction to permaculture RECAP is offering an introductory model which will take place over two days. You will be introduced to permaculture ethics and principals over the first day and landscape and site assessment over the second. Permaculture is a creative design process for gardening, farming, landscaping and social aspects of our lives, which takes into account all aspects of a site, and uses design principles and ethics to guide our decisions. This is great opportunity to familiarise yourself with these ideas and concepts. From this there is the option to complete a PiNZ accredited PDC course.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
