Harcourts Gold Star is proud to sponsor the Sustainable Blue Backyard at Waihi Beach.

Envirohub Bay of Plenty teamed up with the Department of Conservation, Coastal Marine Field Station – the University of Waikato, Scion Research, Waihi Beach Environment Society (Inc), Predator Free BOP, Western Bay of Plenty District Council and Waihi Beach Info to bring a free family-friendly and educational Conservation Week event to Waihi Beach.

This great day out featured a kid’s beach dig, sand sculpture contest, beach clean and live music. All set alongside interactive education providers focused on the importance of conserving our beautiful taonga, reducing our waste and keeping it out of the environment.

Kids even got to paint their own rat trap using donated paints from Resene to take home for backyard trapping.
