Our Regenerative Future, by Greg Hart
2023-05-25 18:00 - 20:00 | Moutere Hills Community Center, 1539 Moutere Highway, Upper Moutere 7175
Hawkes Bay Sheep and Beef farmer, Greg Hart, will outline his transition from traditional sheep and cattle farming to a more economic and biologically resilient farm.
Greg grew up on a family farm near Methven, Mid-Canterbury. After gaining a Bachelor of Agriculture from Massey University and working in the agriculture industry, he and his wife Rachel worked in partnership with Greg’s parents to develop Mangarara Station in Hawke’s Bay. After the birth of their first child in 2000, Greg and Rachel began thinking about their legacy and the world they would be leaving for future generations.
He is transitioning the 600 ha traditional sheep and cattle station to a farm of the future that creates balance by developing diverse, integrated, regenerative farming systems, stacking layers of different production streams and restoring ecosystems through tree planting, sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and building healthy soil using holistic grazing techniques. He will outline how his farm is contributing to the reduction of the impact of climate change by storing more carbon in soils and also how he is achieving dual income grazing and carbon income from trees and grazing on the same area. He has also been trialling biochar. Greg has also been through the recent Cyclone event in Hawkes Bay and has learnt some valuable lessons. He is developing an economically and biologically resilient farm system.
The ethos for the farm is “Optimising Life.”
Greg is a very good speaker and is in demand across the country. It is a great opportunity for our region to have him speak.

A dream for Nelson - Come and share your ideas
2023-05-27 11:00 - 13:00 | Trafalgar street, Trafalgar street, Nelson
The Plan: A bed enclosed by bamboo in a parking space as an invitation to sit and talk about Nelson’s future
John-Paul Pochin, initiator of the project, explains:
“This started as an idea several years ago. I bought a hospital bed and it’s been sitting taking up space ever since but it fits with some of the conversations we’ve had in our group regarding how city space is used and how we reduce car use and how we can better use the space they take up – so the project’s time has come.
I’m working with a small group from the Light Nelson Collective and also our S&C group to build a structure (primarily out of bamboo) around the bed to create an enclosed space that is intended to be very different from the urban environment it will be in. It is a chance to use the space for something other than parking a chunk of metal and plastic, to slow down for a time and unwind – read a book, listen to some music and to reflect on how we could improve our city (there will be an opportunity to record peoples thoughts). The project will happen on 27th of May, during Climate Action Week. The project is intentionally on a Saturday which is a shopping day for many. We will invite people to book some time in the bed using the free parking hour. We’ll park the bed in a parking space and use their car registration to ‘book’ the parking space using the parking meters.“
This event will be weather dependent, so please check before if the weather doesn’t look great!

Safer Biking and Walking around Nelson – Rally for Travel Justice
2023-05-28 13:00 | Millers Acres, Nelson
Are you disgruntled, dismayed or downright disgusted that, despite all our knowledge about global warming and the distressing evidence it presents before our eyes, cars still rule the roost in Nelson? Empty cars are still given the kerbside space that cyclists could better use; and every one of them could have a driver about to fling open the door. People with any disability at all can’t safely cross streets; even with pedestrian refuges, we still have to dash when cars are coming at us at 50 kph.

Roundabouts, kerbside parking, fast speeds are all seemingly cemented in place for the benefit of motorists and to the disadvantage of all other modes of travel. Is this fair? No, it’s not only unfair, it’s short-sighted, and it’s bad for human health and social cohesion.

So let’s Rally for Travel Justice again. Meet at Millers Acre, 1 pm on Sunday 28th MayWalk, scoot, wheelchair or bike to the Church Steps. Please circulate far and wide the poster attached here.
Our map will be at the Church Steps for you to mark on your trouble spots. We put stars on any spots that have been fixed since last time – it’s not a glittering galaxy – yet.
See you there, with or without a message to display. We’ll have plenty of placards for you to use.
