Smallholdings Community Meeting

Smallholdings are important to our rural communities and critical to the freshwater aspirations of our catchments. Te Hoiere Project invites all smallholdings (1-30ha) in the catchment to join us for an evening of free pizza, learning about dung beetles, and to talk about your freshwater goals.

Catchment coordinators will also be on-hand to discuss the support available through Marlborough District Council for fencing, native plants, weed control and more.

WHO: Smallholdings in Te Hoiere, Are Are Creek and Linkwater

WHAT: Enjoy pizza while having a yarn with others in the community about freshwater; learn about dung beetles and funding available for fencing, native planting and more.
