WHANGAROA
REFORESTATION
Alan and Yvonne Robinson are farmers in the Kaeo river catchment,
keen to reduce flooding in the town and siltation in the area
by planting riparian and marginal land, and encouraging other
landowners to do the same.
Waterways carry debris from eroding hills and farmland, damaging natural
ecosystems, exacerbating floods and polluting the harbour. The Robinsons aim to
help landowners plan the planting of their streams and other non-productive land
and encourage management of swamps to help cleaning water. They hope to
create jobs by establishing local teams for fencing, planting, weed and pest control
and growing the plants in partnership with training providers and employment
agencies.
Alan and Yvonne seek:
Connections with training providers
Nursery connections to provide plants
An acre of sheltered land with water to grow plants.
Contact: Alan and Yvonne on 09 405 0688 or Robinson21@xtra.co.nz

NGA KAINGA
MAHANA
In the Far North, many whanau live in overcrowded, unhealthy, substandard living
conditions, linked to serious health problems such as rheumatic fever, tuberculosis,
mental illness and meningitis. Many whanau want to return to their homeland, but

opportunities for whanau to form partnerships to develop and support other
community groups to develop sustainable housing for the benefit of the Far North.
Estee seeks:

Whanau trusts and community groups with an interest in papakainga and

TE MARA
HUPARA
Hupara Gardens
Harko is passionate about nga taonga takaro (traditional Mori games) and their
contemporary uses as resources in education and sport. One aro-takaro is the
hupara, a sawn and decorated log. Hupara in gardens, parks, gullies and reserves
create linger points to increase the use and appreciation of these places. They
bring benefits to a community through promoting exercise like taichi or childrens
playgrounds, as places of contemplation or outdoor classrooms, for picnics or
telling stories, and gives artists opportunities to publicise their talent.
Harko seeks:
Funding for or donation of 20 hupara and paint for their decoration
Installation and signage in a Far North community garden
Workshop bookings by district councils, government departments and
community leaders.

MY GREEN EYE

products. The central philosophy is that collaborative, creative communities
will enable Northland to realise its greater potential. Often creative practitioners
and manufacturers are separated by distance, creative differences or competing
business structures My Green Eye is about economies of scale. Her vision is to

opportunities and adding value to natural resources.

RUSSELL
RECYCLING
AND WASTE
MANAGEMENT
Following the Far North District Councils call for Zero Waste in the Far North, John
Maxwell was inspired to investigate the possibility of a community-owned and
operated waste management and recycling business for the Russell Peninsula.
With the help of Kaitaias CBEC, they were on track to create a worthwhile
community enterprise but the waste management contract was granted elsewhere.
So John and his small band of dedicated Russell volunteers have decided to go it
alone.
John seeks:
More volunteers who can see the potential
A suitable site with three phase power
Finance for a small truck and trailer, two-side opening shipping containers, a
press capable of compacting bales of recyclable material.

SCIENCE IN
COMMUNITIES
An ERO report (May 2012) found that only three out of 100 schools surveyed
had science programmes that were considered highly effective, while less than
two-thirds were considered partially effective. The main goal of Science InC is to
improve STEM education in Northland primary schools it recognises learning
to be scientists is more than just learning science. Science InC plans loaner
lab programmes, teacher workshops, fully packaged STEM study modules, and
increasing Citizen Science in local communities.
Kathryn seeks support for phase one of the loaner lab programme, More Than
Meets the Eye, with funding needed for five schools to participate in Zebrafish
Embryology Study:
20 dissecting microscopes ($5,000)
Five fish tanks, with equipment and fish ($400/tank)
Travel costs.

THE KAIKOHE
CO-OPERATIVE
When floods took out SH1 south of Kawakawa in 2014, the region came within hours
of a state of emergency and food rationing. Local growers and suppliers havent
kept up with international alliances. The Kaikohe Co-operative seeks to change
that by growing and supplying local food that is fresher, higher quality, healthier,
competitively priced, creates employment, keeps dollars in the community and
builds community resilience. Starting with food and local milk deliveries, the model
has the potential to transform the economic fortunes of the town into a prosperous
and thriving community in control of its future.
Mike seeks:
Growers to participate, marketing advice, and experts for the start-up board
Consumer shareholders to pilot the start-up phase

SAFE HAVENZ
Murray and Serafina Lay have been developing their own five acre
Safe Haven park and garden on the outskirts of Kaitaia for the past
10 years and now wish to share it as an overnight experience - an
Air BnB for campervans at private properties.
Sew and Grow is a social enterprise idea designed to teach anyone, from ages 8 to
80, to sew. Classes for youth, adolescents and adults will be aimed at growing skills
and confidence in self sufficient fashion and design. Teaching teenagers is a big
focus as it is an important self awareness age; giving them the ability to craft skills
they can apply directly to their lives can empower a sense of achievement.
Ramona seeks:
Donated sewing machines and tools
Support with starting up OSCAR programmes and teaching in schools
Funding for renting a Kaeo building with potential for a Sewing Cafe and onsite
workshop and gallery.
