WORKING WITH OUR WATERWAYS
Farmers, horticulturalists, and lifestyle block owners – share your ideas about creating more flood resilient land and improving the water quality of the streams and rivers.

At this FREE event find out more about:
• Matakana catchment and storm frequency.
• Natural waterway processes.
