PU¯ NIU River Care aims to enhance the water quality, reinstate wetlands and see the fish, bird life and insects return to the river. Teaming up to enhance Pu¯niu River

Water quality and animal life will be restored to the Pu¯ niu River, thanks to a group called Pu¯ niu River Care. The group is a Rangatahi Marae- based initiative made up of the four marae along the Pu¯ niu river. The project aims to enhance the water quality, reinstate wetlands and see the eels, fish, bird life and insects return. It has a target of planting 200,000 plants throughout the Pu¯ niu catchment area. The Waikeria Prison nursery has supplied 50,000 seedlings over the past three years from a wide array of native species. Prisoners and offenders on commun- ity work sentences have helped with plantings along the river. Prison industries manager Rawiri White says they hope to plant 1.5 kilometres every year over autumn and winter so the plants have time to establish before summer, “This has been a fantastic project for us and the prisoners love it,” he says. “Waikeria Prison borders the river and it flows through the prison farm so we benefit from the improved waterway as well.” Shannon Te Huia of Pu¯ niu River Care says it’s important to take care of the river. “It is about recognising that the food supply is running short and that our rivers are no longer safe to swim in.” “The local iwi and hapu¯ identify themselves as being one with the river and one with the land. “We believe that if we all take care of the river, we take care of ourselves at the same time.” The Pu¯ niu River gets its name from the Patupaiarehe — Ma¯ori fairies — that travelled down the river from Pureora Forest to Pirongia.
