Love Matuku

Jenny Kerrisk snapped this photo of a Matuku at the Nowell's Lakes lakes this morning.  Matuku-hūrepo are Threatened – Nationally Critical.  That's one step away from extinction

Matuku are near the top of the food chain in our wetlands. They habitat at our lakes because of the clean water thriving with eel, plants and insects 

Mew Kubota Mower

Trustees are very pleased that we finally managed to raise enough money to purchase a new Kubota Ride-on Mower for the Walkway. The funds came from grants from the following charities:- 

• $5k from the Toi Foundation
• $5k from the Pelorus Trust
• $4k from the STDC Community Initiatives Fund
• $1.8K from our Fonterra Operational Budget   

Our mower man, Nigel, is very happy as he was struggling to maintain the old mower that was just plain worn out.
