KIA ORA FROM KĀHU'S NEST...

We receive an incredible volume of donations and we are so grateful for yours too. Your donations help to keep items out of landfill, in reuse circulating round in the community, and you're supporting our local employment kaupapa.

We welcome new Shop Manager & Team Leader: Ciane Lawrey who has loads of creative ideas and passion for upcycling & reuse. She launched into her time with us with a big rummage sale: Fill a bag for $5 last week. "Back to school" specials coming up soon, and this weekend:

Join us for a fun morning at Ruapuke beach! Return transport, coffee and lunch provided!

The Ruapuke coastline is unfortunately a collection point for human made debris, and the ocean currents shift the rubbish to particular spots where they break down into tiny fragments after exposure to the elements.

WEC (Wh ā ingaroa Environment Centre), in collaboration with Raglan Shuttle, Coastcare Waikato, Morning Glory Organic Coffee, Top Cut Butchery, Raglan Lions Club and Community Waikato invite you, our community, to join us in a beach clean at Ruapuke. Visitors to town are welcome. Also joining us are the Ruapuke Coastcare Group who have been restoring and protecting Ruapuke’s coastline for over 15 years. During this beach clean we will be using sifters to separate as much of the small fragmented plastic fro m the sand as possible, we will be collecting larger pieces along the beach and also collecting data on what we are finding as we go. Collecting data about what trash we are collecting influences decisions about our public spaces, drinking water, and environment. Think of the beach as a bridge between the land and marine environment. It’s a critical biodiversity area. Cleaning our beaches is a step towar ds cleaning our oceans. Bring the whole family and your friends to appreciate this beautiful and spacious beach while contributing to taking care of it. We will supply you with a caffeinated start to the adventure, return transport and a BBQ lunch to finish. Pre-event registrations are required for Shuttle and/lunch catering. *If you don’t require transport from Raglan, you will find us at the Ruapuke So uthern carpark at 9:30am. More information and registrations for the shuttle and/or lunch can be made here: events.humanitix.com/ruapuke-beach-clean
