Manawatū River Source to Sea

Since 2014/15 representatives of local government, Department of Conservation, farmers and members of the public have been coming together regularly as the Biodiversity Cluster, to network and share ideas, skills and resources, and to provide joint feedback to local and regional councils.

From these meetings, a new and exciting community-led and catchment-wide initiative known as “Manawatū River Source to Sea” has developed.

The “Source-to-Sea” programme intends to bring together the many projects throughout the catchment which are working towards enhancing biodiversity, the health of rivers and the wellbeing of communities.

 

Our vision for 2040:

“Manawatū River Source to Sea” is an integrated network of biodiversity-focused initiatives, including sustainable business activities and other nature-related activities that collectively contribute to the enhancement of biodiversity and provide benefits to the Manawatū River Catchment community.

Our mission:

To collaborate and connect with the Manawatū River Catchment community in a manner that drives the enhancement of biodiversity and the parallel development of a sustainable extended nature-based experience from source to sea.
