Wetlands

Te Ripo O Hinemata Wetland is 18.9 hectares of freshwater wetland on a floodplain of Koputaroa Stream.  

The main wetland from Koputaroa Stream to the south and east are separated by a stopbank and the North Island Main Trunk Railway forms the north-western boundary.

The surrounding landscape is dominated by grazed pasture and crops with scattered indigenous trees.

The Trusts priority is the restoration and revitalisation of our Wetlands.  

We want to strengthen the connection of our whanau, especially our children, to the Whenua.  

We have whanau plantings, two or three times a year with the help, support  and supervision of DOC.

The Wetland has historical, cultural and spiritual significance to Kereru Marae.   

We see our ecological restoration as the redevelopment of mahinga kai and taonga, including traditional plants for weaving, kakaho and tukutuku.
