Maungatautari to Pirongia Ecological Corridor Society co-chair Clare St Pierre is inviting the public to join her group to help build an ecological corridor at the rescheduled event this Sunday, August 27, in Te Awamutu.
“We’ll be celebrating Conservation Week by planting natives and sharing knowledge on predator control, plant
identification and care, rongoā and tuna monitoring,” she says.
The restoration of the ecological corridor from Maungatautari to Pirongia covers both biodiversity and cultural aspects. The project has been gifted the name Taiea te Taiao by mana whenua.
The event is a chance to meet the collaborators, including the Taiea te Taiao project team, Waipā District Council, Maungatautari to Pirongia Ecological Corridor Society, NZ Landcare Trust and Koroneiki Developments.
