Waitetī 2A1B2B2 Trust with support of Bay of Plenty Regional Council and Te Arawa Lakes Trust are excited to invite hapū and community to a planting day to begin the restoration of Reporepo a Ngatamahine (the wetland of Ngatamahine) in the Waitetī area.

Ngatamahine is a special place for whānau, hapū and community to strengthen bonds to the whenua. As our land and water improve, so do we!

Come and celebrate the restoration of our wetland and creating positive change for our community and whenua. All welcome! This is an event for the whole whānau. Below is an outline for the day but feel free to drop in as you can!
