πŸ’š New article: β€œLed up the garden path”

β€œYou could see it like Tinder for gardeners - pick and choose properties depending on size and style - see what suits you, explore things you want to try out, get a little dirty at a small group workshop. And you don’t need to go all in, instead, over the years you dabble in one thing and anotherβ€”no pressure to commit to serious landscape renovations too soon.”

Great story written by Jen, our Sustainable Trails Coordinator!

🌻 Farms & Builds: 2 new Trails this year!

There have always been elements beyond the backyardβ€”solar or EV set-ups, composting toilets or off-grid homes, and in the last few years, commercial market gardens and farms β€” but this will be the first time builds and farms will be showcased in their own right!

The Sustainable Farms and Builds Trails will allow people to connect with farmers and commercial growers who are prioritising the environment in their farming practices as well as homeowners and the build experts who’ve created eco-friendly designs.

β˜€οΈ Environment Hubs Aotearoa needs YOU!

At Sustainable Taranaki we're building a future where communities are equipped to face environmental challenges, our children live in harmony with nature, and sustainable living is the norm. 

Despite the urgency of the climate crisis, the government has reduced support for environmental initiatives. Environment Hubs Aotearoa is facing large funding cuts and their direct support to environment centres like ours in Taranaki is at risk.

At Sustainable Taranaki we work to support people and businesses to value the environment by prioritising sustainability. 

With your help we can continue restoring nature, combating climate change, and equipping future generations with the resources they need to thrive.

By supporting Environment Hubs Aotearoa, you are investing in the future of Taranaki and Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Please give today. Now more than ever, we need your help so communities can thrive! Donate here. β˜€οΈ
