Volunteer Day – 22/01/2025

22 January | 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Feel like smashing something?
No need to worry—we haven’t lost the plot. On the contrary, we’re in the process of removing a, let’s say, foreign (invasive?) object from the depot grounds.

It seems to be a barge, owned or operated by a group of organisations, which left it in the back of the depot a long time ago. As responsible caretakers of this lovely area and to make way for the planned nursery, we are now getting rid of it.

How will we do this? We’re not entirely sure yet, but there are plenty of “opinions” and even some helpful solutions from our ever-growing number of volunteers. Come and join the fun.

For those who prefer a more wholesome activity, you can join the seasonal bird count team in Tapeka—weather permitting. There may even be an added activity of eco-sourcing seeds for the nursery.

If you’d rather work indoors, the RLT team has asked if volunteers can assist with making chew cards. No experience or tool handling is required, and instructions will be provided.

**Location:** 43 Matauwhi Road (RLT Depot) @9am

Coming up

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in regularly servicing a line. We plan to hold an information/training session on a weekday evening soon.

We are in the early stages of setting up a group of volunteers to help restore the walking trail to Longbeach. You know the one. Neil and Sandra have kindly offered to lead this significant task, which will (ultimately) bring much joy and value to the community. Let me know if you are interested in joining this project!
