A big shout-out to Alex from Malex Construction for picking up a load of sawdust shavings for the Trust within a day of us putting out an urgent request to the community! It’s things like this that make us tick- a village in action!

Thanks, Alex

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at FIXation for their very generous donation of raincoats for the nursery crew.

They’ve come in super handy with all the wet weather we’ve had, plus some pesky water hoses on the loose!

Thanks again, FIXation 💚

✨And that's a wrap on the second Kororāreka Repair Event! ✨

A huge thank you to all of the wonderful volunteer fixers, the Kura who kindly donated the space for the afternoon, Hone’s Garden for donating the delicious pizzas and everyone who attended! 💚

With a total of 19 items fixed, from an accordion to a pair of socks, this year saw a wide array of items being brought in for the fixers.

We’re stoked with the feedback the event has gotten, including: “Very grateful. Wonderful community service.” “Great service. Appreciated greatly.” “Absolutely fantastic service and repairs. Looking forward to next year.”

Again, a massive thank you to everyone involved in the event - the 2026 volunteer fixers, our community coordinator Kerryand the rest of the Russell Landcare Trust team volunteering their time, and of course all of you for attending!

Keep an eye out for our future events.

As part of our habitat restoration mahi, we’re starting a new series - Meet Our Native Bush!

Learn about our incredible native trees and how each works towards creating a thriving ecosystem.

This month we’re focusing on Mingimingi | Coprosma Propinqua, a versatile native shrub found across wetlands, salt marshes and riparian areas (habitats between a body of water and land) in the Bay of Islands.

Today's our birthday! 🎈

24 years ago, Russell Landcare Trust's founding Trustees, Helen, Heather, William, Glennis, Diane, Diana, Bob and George signed the first-ever Trust Deed.

This formally established the Russell Landcare Trust and laid the foundation that we’re continuing to build on over two decades later.

Thank you to everyone who’s been involved with the Trust since its beginnings, and a particular thank you to our founding Trustees, without whom all our mahi wouldn’t be possible.
