Students from Ngata College, Department of Conservation and Local Marae, and members of Sustainable Coastlines worked together on Friday 27 June 2014 to put 300 trees in the ground to help rejuvenate the banks of the Reporua Stream in Ruatoria.

Volunteers enjoyed a BBQ after their mahi to celebrate working together to help look after the local environment and protect our waterways. This effort was our part to help the restoration efforts that Project Crimson, and the Department of Conservation has already been achieving in the area. Tuauau of Ngati Rangi have strong connection with this stream.
