Fun-n-gala time! Are you keen to do your bit to improve the health of the Pauatahanui inlet?

Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November. Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance.

Bring along a weed from your garden and swap it for a free native plant. And loads of fun for the kids! We will have a catchment model at our stall for kids to experiment and learn about sediment, streams, gullies and wetlands. See you soon.

Free 4 x dining chairs

Angela from Camborne

Hi,

Want some free dining room chairs? I have 4 ready for pick-up. Note, they are not that comfy and one of them has a back that needs a little repair (the one in the photo). They can also come with 4 chair covers (see the one in the back of the photo with the grey/white/black lined covers).
