(COMPLETED) Mihi Whakatau

He Rā Whakanui - Celebrating Our Stars

Join us to celebrate a huge milestone and mihi to everyone who’s been part of our Raukūmara Pae Maunga journey so far. This project, restoring our ngahere and te taiao here on the coast, has created jobs for so many kaimahi and we want to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s made this possible!

This mihi whakatau heralds the start of new beginnings as we welcome Matariki - our new year and new developments in the most significant, indigenous-lead, conservation project on the planet.
