We're excited to share we've been making great progress with our strategic planning as the wider 'Hakarimata Restoration Group'. In November, with the help of consultant Amanda Banks, we all got together for a few sessions to create a vision for Hākarimata with the motto of 'bringing back the bird song.' We have some amazingly passionate and skilled people on board, a heap of experience and some fresh ideas as well.
Thanks to some workshops with Amanda and many other sub group meetings since then, we are ready to awaken this sleeping giant in 2025 and bring back the Hākarimata Restoration Trust. Based on support so far and some amazing donations, we're hopeful the wider community will back our vision. This will be a collaborative effort with Iwi, Council, DOC, Hakarimata Trust and very importantly the wider community as a whole.
A big thank you to everyone reading this who's followed our volunteer work so far, it means a lot, its certainly been many hours of hard slog but it really drives us to do more.
We're looking forward to engaging with more land owners, volunteers and other supporters in 2025. Let's bring back the birdsong! Watch this space.
