A little while ago we started sharing quick stories about some of the local non-profit organisations that are part of the Volunteer Marlborough network. This week, we're shining the spotlight on the team at Kaipupu Sanctuary:⁠

- What is the mission or goal of the Kaipupu Wildlife Sanctuary team? Our vision is "To create a wildlife sanctuary that can be enjoyed by all, forever." To achieve this vision, we work as a team to enrich the community through restoration and guardianship of Kaipupu Wildlife Sanctuary where native plants and animals flourish.⁠

- What do your staff and volunteers do? We are lucky enough to have two part time coordinators who handle administration, compliance, volunteer management, fundraising, events, education, and marketing! We also have an incredible team of volunteers who work on a range of tasks including predator and weed control, maintenance, working bees, education, and guided tours! Our committee are also all volunteers.⁠

- How does your organisation’s work help or develop the community? We are working to create a wildlife sanctuary that can be enjoyed by all who visit. We also have a education programme which promotes kaitiakitanga (guardianship and protection) and respect for the environment.⁠

Today is International Volunteer Day, an international event run by UN Volunteers and celebrated every year on the 5th of December. IV Day champions the impact volunteers have in communities, nationally and globally. ⁠

Do you agree with the Council's decision to close some freedom camping sites?

A subcommittee of the Marlborough District Council are due to vote on the closure of two-thirds of Marlborough's freedom camping sites on Friday, with the proposed bylaw aiming to open three others.

It comes after the incoming Tourism Minister Stuart Nash blasted freedom campers, saying that tourists will no longer be able to hire out non-self-contained vehicles. "If you're willing to pay for a campervan at least you have the ability to dispose of your excrement in a way that meets our sustainability goals and quite frankly our brand," he said.

Campers can still reside in the approximately 50 other Department of Conservation campsites, for a fee.
