We always need more shingle! If you or anyone you know of would be paying to dump unwanted shingle, please come and dump it at Staveley Camp for free! We use a lot of shingle for our walking tracks in the bush which we are making fully wheelchair accessible. Thanks!
Part of the Staveley Camp Forest Restoration Project is to engage schools and local community in learning about biodiversity and the need to protect our degraded natural spaces. This includes working to develop a 'Head, Hands, Heart' environmental education programme. We see benefits for the forest itself and for the students and teachers in creating purpose built fun forest activities that can awaken interests in the students in subjects as diverse as ecology, history, creative writing, art and complex systems. We are looking for any cultural and historical knowledge about the bush itself and the immediate local area in order to weave it into our education programmes so that this knowledge can be sustainably and indefinitely retained. We are seeking local stories, memories, legends, historical events and any other interesting information. Why, for example, was a 9 hectare stand of forest left standing on SAWMILL rd?! If you have anything to offer, we would love to hear it. Please get in touch :-)

The Staveley Camp forest has a number of invasive weeds, many of which (notably contoneaster) are altering the fundamental structure of the forest. Where areas of the forest have been cleared of contoneaster it is obvious that this weed, when established, prevents the growth of any other species. Work to control the weeds is continuing in the Staveley Forest on a weekly basis and we would love your help! We use hand tools (loppers, secateurs, hand saws) and gel herbicide in a method known as 'cut and paste'. The work can be quite hard and heavy, but you can work at your own pace and there is no pressure to meet KPIs! The location is beautiful and you get to hang out with the birds and the bush. We can provide all the tools, gloves and protective eyewear, although if you have your own LEATHER work gloves (many of the weeds are spikey) bring these. Strong shoes and work clothes a must. Bring your own lunch or take a break at the Staveley Store just down the road :-) If you can make your own way to Staveley Camp and would like to spend some hours/days/years! helping clear weeds, please get in touch to arrange a time that suits us both. gen de spa 0211 345 802

That's right - it's on my bucket list - I've always wanted to play the upright double bass - and not with a bow. I love music but never played an instrument apart from the recorder aged 7 … hmm nope that doesn't count does it?! I'm hoping it's not a long shot and that we have an MC TimeBanker with a passion for slappin' the upright double bass. Maybe we could start up a Mid Canterbury TimeBank band... watch this space! :)

Anybody going on a regular basis from Manaia/Hawera/Straford area that goes to New Plymouth on a regular basis who likes the idea of doing a car-share? Am occasionally also going to Levin and back, so if you wanting to share a car let me know. My car needs fixing and though it is running, don't want to do too many long distance trips. Happy to do short distance exchanges in the Manaia area to Hawera/Straford and back for the time being though. Car-share comes with shared fuel expenses

Hello! I would love to get some piano lessons, not every week, but just if and when it suits you. I played for many years (from age 6 to 18) but I am pretty rusty these days. If you aren't able to offer me lessons, but you have a piano at your home that you don't mind me playing for an hour or two, that would also be great. Cheers!
