Compost Rescue!

The He Awhi Rito Community Compost bins (no 8 1st Avenue Whangarei) are in a dire state! We (Judy, Janey, me and Clint) will be in Whangarei on Tuesday 20th to dig out gluggy compost and mix in greens/carbons and AIR to get them pumping again. If anyone can lend a hand, and/or has greens or browns they can contribute, please get in touch or turn up between 10.30-4 (I'm driving down from Kaitaia to help, so wont be there early!!). The secondary compost bins are also falling apart, any handy builders out there that have some time to lend a hand, Clint would appreciate the help! These bins process event compostable waste and feed into the community gardens, so any help here will also help our Whangarei community.

Activities you and your mentee might take part in may include; walking the dog, going for a hot chocolate, shooting some basketball hoops, baking or getting crafty... it's all about doing things you both enjoy and just spending time together, one-on-one. Throughout your time matched (a minimum of one year), our Mentoring Coordinators will be there to support and guide you along the way, with resources and activities (i.e. board games, craft materials) available if needed. You will also be invited to regular 'Match Events' where you can connect with other volunteers and rangatahi in the programme. The process of becoming a mentor includes an informal information session at our Rangiora office, followed by an application form, police check, formal interview and training session.

Environmental Weed Control Work

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
