Kia ora!
 
The third Environmental Expo will be held in Russell on Saturday and Sunday, 2-3 August 2003.
 
Once again we will have Snoopy, a real, live Kiwi, strutting around (feel free to bring some worms for him!) and also we will have a special performance - popular New Zealand composer and performer Jeff Clarkson will be playing selections from his latest instrumental album "Breathing Space" as well as his internationally famous albums which began with the release of 'Butterfly' some 16 years ago.

There will be the usual wide range of eco-friendly building products, supplies and methods and household products, services, energy, building methods etc. The FNDC, NRC and Department of Conservation will also be represented.

The Expo will mark the launch of Conservation Week, this year along the theme of "Our Places — Our Stories"; make sure you allow time to see over Russell's gem, the NZ Historic Places Trust property, Pompallier, which has guided tours throughout both days. Pompallier would have to be one of NZ's most environmentally-friendly old properties - having been built from rammed earth (pisé de terre).

There are some stalls still available - for further information please contact Jacqui on 09 403 8843 or email er@ernz.org.

Hope to see you there!
