Dunedin Adopt-A-Spot Initiative.

The Keep Dunedin Beautiful committee, has been busy coming up with a way to "Keep Dunedin Beautiful" They have reinstated the "Adopt-A-Spot" concept, this programme worked effectively for many years, and has now been brought back into the spotlight, to be better than ever. The Keep Dunedin Beautiful committee invites and encourages your group to take part. The method is simple, and involves choosing an area and keeping it clean and tidy on a regular basis, whether it be monthly, quarterly or every six months, whatever suits your group.

There are many benefits for your group and also the community: Team building, sense of accomplishment and pride in the community, physical work, visibility and ownership in your community, being responsible role models, and a tidier more beautiful community!

Brochures can be obtained by contacting Keep Dunedin Beautiful on 474 3401 or by clicking here to email. Keep Dunedin Beautiful can help you get started by supplying you with bags, gloves and anything else you may need. If you're outside Dunedin and interested in adopting a spot in your own patch email info@knzb.org.nz today!
