They met with the Te Ao Tipu team based at Tarere Marae, Makauri. The team are employed through Te Rea (Tairawhiti Agroecology Recovery Programme) which is funded through Jobs For Nature/Mahi mo te Taiao. The board members and Department of Conservation (DoC) staff were impressed with the work on trap lines, water monitoring and riparian planting achieved to date by this small team. This work demonstrates mana whenua leadership in conservation, the contribution of rangatahi to conservation, and the intersection of matauranga Maori with modern technology. Several board members later visited the Waikanae Stream restoration work by Rongawhakaata that showed the growth of the riparian plantings after only a few years. Outgoing board chair Jo Blakely said “DoC’s Jobs for Nature/Mahi mo te Taiao projects can be likened to where rubber hits the road, and the board is encouraged by witnessing conservation volunteers everywhere.” This was proved when the board visited Gray’s Bush that offers a temperate and coolness throughout the year, reviving many visitors through experiencing nature. While there the board bumped into local pest tracking Forest & Bird volunteers. At the public forum, Lois Easton of Kereru Consultants gave a presentation of the work achieved to date at Waikereru/ Longbush, before outlining the Waimata River Restoration Project.
