“It has taken a lot of mahi for our catchment group to come together before the formation of LFTL- we are so relieved to have a collaborative organisation working across Tairawhiti to support new and existing catchment groups and for us to work more efficiently, sharing our learnings and projects recognising we are all connected across the community and landscape”.
