A two-day community planting session is to take place on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th June, with the community invited to enjoy a walk along the River, listen to local history and help to plant a few native plants. All that’s required is a pair of gumboots some gloves and a spade, as lunch will be provided.
The well known stretch of the Manawatu River, where the kaitiaki peketahi lives, has been cleared of weeds to establish a walkway, which will be open to the public duringthe summer months.
With thanks from the Taumata Farm owners and funding from Central Government’s Fresh Start for Fresh Water Clean-Up Fund through the Manawatu River Leaders’ Accord grants initiative; Te Kauru-Hapu Collective and Horizons Regional Council have been working on this project over the past nine months.
