Project Description
Oreti Catchment Groups are working together to plan and deliver a bus trip, exploring key places and projects within the Oreti Catchment.
The day will explore four quality sites that are not often visited but will serve to educate and inspire the attendees, and kickstart catchment solution thinking.
Experts will be invited to support the day, offer their expertise and answer questions both on the bus and at the site visits.
Part of the project involves the creation of a booklet which showcases the Mid and Lower Oreti Catchment Groups, their key projects and information on the sites visited. Other resources will also be available on the day.
