Protecting whenua (land), supporting whānau (family) 🌱
A big thanks to Colab Construct for choosing our silt socks for their site. Jarryd swung by the nursery this morning to pick up a special sizes order — sorted and ready to go.
Every silt sock on a construction site does two jobs at once: it keeps sediment out of our waterways, protecting the land and water that sustain us all — toitū te whenua, toitū te wai (the land endures, the water endures) — and because we're a social enterprise, every dollar of profit goes straight back into our charitable mahi (work).
Food parcels, community lunches, accommodation for whānau (families) in need, volunteer support — all of it is funded by partnerships like this one.
So when companies like Colab Construct choose us, they're not just ticking an environmental compliance box.
They're helping feed families and strengthen our community right here in Waitaha (Canterbury).
Ngā mihi nui (many thanks), Colab Construct — we appreciate you. 🙌
