Important Oil Spill Updates

The Far North Environment Centre has been in touch with the Tauranga centre to stay updated on news of the oil spill from the Rena and to find out how best people can help - especially if they are considering heading down to the Bay of Plenty to volunteer for the clean-up. As this is likely to be an extended process and help may be best appreciated when the first wave of local volunteers is tiring, it is worthwhile to

a/ register as a volunteer through the link below and

b/ check the Tauranga Centre's website for updates

c/ if you are keen on helping with the Wildlife Response, that is being handled through a separate contact: please phone and register on 0800 333 771.

You can now register online as a volunteer at: http://www.boprc.govt.nz/oilspillvolunteers/

This should now be the easiest way to make sure they have your details registered.

 Keep checking Tauranga Environment Centre  website www.envirohub.org.nz for more updates.

Thanks to Glen, in Tauranga, for sending through those links.
