Blog Tree

This image is a graphical representation, in the form of a tree, of the blog and all the links etc.

Videos

A couple of videos from the BBC via YouTube. One on moving sculptures, taking inspiration from movement and animal forms. The other how looking at termites can help our building design, so if we give insects hotels they, in turn, can help us build better houses.

Fence Design

We have got the basic fence protection system designed. It is a representation of DNA and will act as a barrier and provide support for the planting scheme some of the students have developed.
Once the structure is up we plan to have a community sculpture workshop, so people can make sculptural elements to be attached to the structure. These elements will be based on the native flora and fauna of the Kaipara region.

Insect Hotels

Another application we have completed is for insect hotels. Our local council have a small biodiversity fund and we decided to apply to start building the insect equivalent of The Vegas Strip at Gordon St. Once insects in the neighbourhood hear about it, there will be no stopping them!

Bioretention Scheme

We have just put in an application into the Where There's Water fund for our bioretention scheme.
