The Whangawehi Catchment Management Group (WCMG) are a group of Kiwis from local farms, marae, forestry companies, schools, and agencies who’ve come together to protect the sacred Whangawehi River. They have been replanting the river and her tributaries since 2012 and through Jobs for Nature, have been able to add nine members to their restoration crew. This has ramped up their restoration efforts and is enabling them to plant and maintain the trees funded through their corresponding Million Metres project.
