One of our aims is to open the Centre more, if you could spare time to staff the Centre, especially at weekends, we’d love to hear. In addition, there's a long list of projects in the Catchment Management Plan (copies below window) which are not yet scheduled, but it would be good to progress. You can contact WEC by e-mail , phoning 07-825-0480 or by simply popping into the centre. Your help on any of these important tasks would be greatly appreciated.
