The wonderful collaboration of Enviroschools Tairāwhiti with Tūranga Ararau, Te Kaunihera o te Tairāwhiti/ Gisborne District Council, Department of Conservation, Gisborne Airport, HB and JN Williams Trust, and Tairāwhiti Environment Centre has empowered young people of this area to engage in building knowledge and skills for restoration. A number of people have been involved in enabling and sustaining this intergenerational approach to caring for local waterways and biodiversity.
