National networking
Representatives of the Taranaki Wai Connection team were invited to attend the annual 3-day Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust’s wānanga hosted at Ōnuku Wānanga from 14-16 April. It was an opportunity to share and learn about the successes on the ground and build future resilience within catchment groups around Aotearoa.
The 2025 theme—”Celebrating Our Impact and Building Resilience”—reflected the core mahi of Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust and their many collaborators. Part of the programme was a Government Panel discussing “What’s Next for Catchment Groups”.
The programme is designed as an inspiring professional development and networking opportunity, bringing together those involved in freshwater and marine conservation. Each wānanga is shaped by the unique needs of the host region, weaving together the perspectives of mana whenua, local communities, and scientists. Together, they explore local issues, celebrate successes, and build practical skills for those doing the mahi on the ground.
