Do it yourself
UNHAPPY about the lack of plants around the Cape Kidnappers gannet colony, Hastings/Havelock North branch student member Tim Hay has initiated a project to make the area more attractive. Earlier this year he organised a fun run along the coast to raise money to revegetate the area. He obtained sponsorship from Watties, The Hub and Arataki Honey, and enlisted helpers from the branch to service the checkpoints and
drink stations along the run. On a beautifully fine February morning nearly 60 people from 18 to 60 ran the 25-km trip from Clifton Beach to the gannet colony and back to the beach. Tim’s effort raised $550, and the branch has made the total up to $1000. They are now working closely with the Department of Conservation on a planting plan for the Cape. Well done Tim.
