Something is brewing over at the Avon-Ōtākaro Forest Park in Christchurch. The Green Lab, in partnership with the Avon-Ōtākaro Forest Park and Hummingbird Coffee Roasters, are building a nature play area that promotes access to nature and a deeper connection to the environment. The site will be an educational hub, encouraging an understanding and appreciation of the diverse biodiversity found within its boundaries. This space is designed to engage all senses, providing a multi-sensory experience for visitors, including a sound garden, a creation table for kids and a sensory rope trail garden. This project is designed to have minimal impact on the environment and embodies sustainable practices – from re-using coffee sacks to prep the garden beds, to installing the rope for the sensory garden which has been donated by a local fishery. It’s little things that make a big impact on a project like this. In mid-April, the team at Hummingbird and Conservation Volunteers New Zealand supported the Green Lab team by volunteering time at the site. From cleaning up the riverbed, to digging holes to build a rock trail to the river – we also got creative with coffee beans and decorated concrete pavers. It was a really great day out for the team! Set to open Sunday 9 June 2024, we can’t wait for the space to be enjoyed by everyone! Julie Tarm Mike Stribrny

We have an exciting new opportunity for an IT Specialist to join the team. Apply today! Logan Arendse Adrien Ho

Last Friday, the JDE NZ team got the opportunity to join our friends Conservation Volunteers New Zealand and help with the Papakura Stream Restoration Project in Brookby, Auckland. The Papakura Stream Restoration Project aims to improve the health of the stream and the wider catchment through restoration planting in hills, wetlands and to restore linkages between indigenous forest remnants and the stream. With 65 enthusiastic volunteers, we got our hands dirty and planted 1,245 native plants 🌱 and being able to get kids involved was a great way to start their journey with the environment. Shout out to the amazing CVNZ team for the great work they do in making a difference to our environment. #CommonGrounds Agnieszka Wojciechowska Mike Stribrny Nick Cowper Katie Stewart Toni Zinzan Ka Wing Lau Quan Yuan Mark Polaczek Simon Boyle Silvie Novotna
