From Curiosity to Connection: Discovering the monthly NEV Crop Swap!
19th August 2025
The only thing I knew when I turned up to my first Crop Swap was that I hadn't brought any 'crops'. I pictured people bartering vegetables by the sackful or haggling over lettuces...I couldn't have been more wrong, or more happily surprised! What I discovered was a friendly group of people making small offerings of almost anything food related to anyone with an interest, and most importantly, everyone was sharing their knowledge of selfsufficiency. This really is the heart of the gathering. "It's about food sharing, and community food resilience," said Claire Speedy, one of the group's coordinators, who …

The Valley Project Firewood Guide
14th August 2025
The Valley Firewood Guide Last Update: 25/7/2025 Who doesn’t love a good fire? It can warm your home, help cook your food (if you're adventurous), and provide atmospheric lighting. So, for those of you who wish to keep your own fires going through the dark and cold months, the Valley Project has put together this nifty little directory of Dunedin-local sources of firewood, since chopping down the neighbours trees is both tedious, time consuming, and and has a tendency to make them furious for some reason. You were just improving the view! Notable Firewood Suppliers On …

Kaitiakitaka in Open Valley Urban Ecosanctuary
10th February 2025
Open Valley Urban Ecosanctuary (Open VUE) relies on volunteers to provide support by offering their time, skills, and expertise. There are many wonderful ideas coming from the residents to promote and increase biodiversity within the Valley. However, as with most volunteer-based organisations, Open VUE has quite a few challenges associated with getting these ideas to fruition due to low volunteer turnout. Funded by The Otago Museum Trust Board Curious Minds platform, Open VUE launched a participatory science project in June 2024 called Kaitiakitaka in Open Valley Urban Ecosanctuary. The goal is to sustainably continue community-led conservation in an effort …
