Nursery Collective
Members of WaiP2K have indicated that they would like to learn more about growing healthy native plants. An opportunity arose when Charmin Dahl, a student from the US, contacted us to collaborate on a project.
Charmin will be working with WaiP2K to initially develop a series of workshops on growing native nurseries. In time we hope to develop a native nursery collective for sharing and learning. Keep an eye out for more details coming soon!

Celia Wade-Brown uses TrapNZ to record trapping data from their farm. Celia wants to see more trapping data collected and shared across the Wairarapa so we can work together to achieve Predator-Free Wairarapa.
