Who We Are
Te Hoiere Project is a collaborative landscape scale restoration project that brings together the aspirations of the community, iwi, industry, NGO’s, local and central government. The project takes a holistic approach, integrating mātauranga Māori, scientific knowledge and community connection to implement change. Te Hoiere catchment is one of 14 priority catchments in DOC's Ngā Awa River Restoration Programme and an exemplar catchment as part of Ministry for the Environment's At Risk Catchments Programme.
Te Hoiere Kaitiaki Charitable Trust provide leadership and governance for the Project, with trustees representing Ngāti Kuia, Marlborough District Council, Rangitāne and the community. The Department of Conservation, Ministry for Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport (previously Ministry for the Environment) and Top of the South Wood Council are special advisers to the Trust.
Te Hoiere Project is aligned with Kotahitanga mō Te Taiao, which promotes collective action towards enhancing and protecting biodiversity in Te Tauihu, the top of the South Island. Read more about Kotahitanga mō te Taiao or check out the video below.
