We’re bringing back one of our popular Moturoa / Rabbit Island ‘Firewood Saturday’ events.
A similar event earlier this year raised $10,000 each for Nelson Tasman Hospice and Nelson Women’s Refuge, and this time it’s the Fifeshire Foundation’s turn to reap the rewards.
Fifeshire Foundation is a Charitable Trust that assists local people in hardship and domestic crisis.
Firewood Saturday will be on 18 October, and the wood will be $100 a trailer load (up to 2 cubic metres) with tickets on sale at Richmond and Motueka Libraries from Friday 3 October.
The firewood is unsplit but has been cut into rings, mostly pine, and needs to be dried over summer before it can be burned.
Thanks to the generous support of PF Olsen, Steve Thompson Ltd, and Downer, we’re offering 200 trailer loads.
When you buy a ticket, you’ll be given a time slot between 8.00 am and 4.00 pm on Saturday 18 October, and to avoid long traffic queues, trailers will be mechanically loaded by our team.
Please note, ticket numbers are limited, and there’s no entry without a ticket.
This is the perfect opportunity to warm up next winter and support a worthy local organisation that helps others – grab your ticket and get your time slot at either the Richmond or Motueka Library.
