Looks like a great event!

We’re excited to be hosting a Biodiversity Day on 30 April!

Come along to hear our new Biodiversity Plan, presented by Mithuna Sothieson, and find out what it means for the catchment and how you can get involved. We’ll also have Andy Glaser there sharing practical trapping methods and running live demonstrations.

Afterwards, stick around for a BBQ lunch - a great chance to chat, ask questions, and connect with others.

We’d love to see you there!

Awesome evening!

Hi all!

We’re super excited to wrap up the Mount season with our final Surfing for Farmers session this Thursday, 9 April. It hasn’t been the easiest run for the Mount this year — the most evenings we’ve ever had to miss — so it’ll be extra special to finish strong together.

Come down and help us celebrate:
• Our incredible volunteers who make every session happen
• Our amazing sponsors who keep SFF running
• Our farmers and growers who show up week after week with the best vibes

And a big shoutout to our friends and premium sponsors at Rabobank New Zealand, who are giving away a surfboard to one lucky farmer. You must be at the beach to collect it.

Thanks again to everyone who makes SFF at the Mount so special.

See you Thursday! 🤙🏄‍♀️🌊
