Waiheke Resources Trust

Safeguard our Future Campaign Launches today! 🌍 Our efforts to protect the environment and support resilient communities are making a real difference, but Environment Hubs around NZ face large funding cuts, jeopardising our collective impact. Our 21 member hubs across the motu are building a future where communities are equipped to face environmental challenges, where our children live in harmony with nature, and where sustainable living is the norm. For the month of November, we’re raising funds to continue this vital and positive work. We’re asking you to donate, pledge support, or become a partner, and share with all your networks far and wide! 📢 Your support for this campaign will ensure that Environment Hubs Aotearoa can continue to lead the charge in building sustainable, resilient communities across New Zealand. With financial resources, we can continue our efforts to restore nature, combat climate change, and equip future generations with the tools they need to thrive. By supporting this campaign, you are investing in the future of Aotearoa New Zealand.  Let’s safeguard the future together! 🌱 https://lnkd.in/g-VWTE7N #safeguardourfuture #environmenthubsaotearoa #donatetoday

Our Composting team have been studying hard! Thanks to a $300 grant from Compost Collective, Yossi and Mike have completed the Growing Point compost course, enhancing their skills in soil microbiology. 🌱🔬 They explored the vital roles of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes in transforming dirt into nutrient-rich soil. With their new insights into the soil food web and advanced composting techniques, they’re ready to support our community! A huge shoutout to Compost Collective for making this opportunity possible! 🙌
