Come on then, who's up for some friendly competition? It's time to test your brains on some general knowledge with an "environmental" theme and have a bit of fun along the way.

We're taking bookings for tables of up to 8 - remember that anyone on your team who's under 30 gets some bonus points for the team! Or you can register as an individual and we'll be making up some "super sub" tables!

For more information or to book a spot, email [email protected] or head to https://events.humanitix.com/the-great-enviro-quiz

Thank you to Ben Zhang for his leadership to deliver a 6 week course to Chinese families, to raise awareness and understanding about NZ's special ecosystems. It was a pleasure to attend the graduation ceremony with Sylvia Yang - Upper Harbour Local Board and to hear from all of the families that had completed the course.

This is just one of the slides from so many powerful presentations. We just love the insightful thoughts contained in this image.
