Te Mahia School students initiated the restoration of the Whangawehi stream on Pongaroa Station. They established, with a lot of skills and expertise, the first 200 trees on the true right side of the river. These trees will be spectacular in the years to come and will contribute to enhance our sacred Awa.

Thanks to Shane Mildenhall, Manager of the Station and all the Whangawehi community who came to support this initiative.

All the best to Kathleen and Rae for the Pride of New Zealand Award.
