Following on from the DCC’s review of the HHCT Management Plan, it was mentioned that people would like to be more involved and learn more about what we as a Trust do on a daily basis. To this end the Trust have started a new initiative called the “Friends of Hereweka”.
If you wish to be involved in plantings, a variety of other hands-on projects or by simply supporting the Trust in other ways and would like to sign up to be a Friend of Hereweka, then please email: [email protected] and our Secretary will be in touch with you.
