At the Trust’s new Community Tool Library, locals can borrow tools free of charge for their own environmental and beautification projects. The library, housed in a repurposed shipping container, includes hundreds of tools like spades, wheelbarrows and paint brushes which can be reserved on the Trust’s website. To help cover the cost of environmental and beautification projects, the Trust’s newly established Tiaki Fund offers grants of up to $1,000. Funding grants are available to schools, early childhood centres, neighbourhoods, community groups, youth groups, marae and workplace groups. Free compost is available to South and East Auckland residents and groups
