Our Taiao crew had an awesome trip upto the Tawera land block which has 1 of the last lowland kahikatea stands, it was an amazing day with awesome korero and aspirations shared! We were very lucky to have Arapata Reuben from Ngāi Tāhu whakapapa and the National kiwi hatchery, another Whanauka Dan Buchanan who works at MPI specializing in native forests and Clayton from Orion who also works with groups and hapū to plant and grow native forests! The tawera block is a space our Taiao crew are very passionate about we identified native rakau and pest rakau and looked for signs of any pest animals living or moving through helping reduce/eliminate pests plant/animal and allow this special stand of taonga rakau to regenerate and thrive! We had a new at220 pest trap donated by Clayton/Orion and all got a rundown on operation, we will in the future use this to control possums as part of our project plan at tawera after we get familiar with it at a property in Tuahiwi with possums problems . Also we had venison pick up from hunters to hope which we are also grateful for! Each month we collect mince that feeds our tauira and their whānau weekly!

On Friday, in collaboration with Noaia, Road II Redemption, and Kai Connoisseurs, we held a working bee at Te Waka-a-Rangi cutting firewood and preparing spaces for calves and chickens ahead of spring. 🌱🔥🐄🐓

This was a beautiful collaboration of kaupapa, creating meaningful opportunities for tauira to gain valuable hands-on work experience while contributing back to the whenua and community.

A huge mihi to our Community Job Coaching rangatahi who stepped into Tuakana roles, mentoring and supporting Noaia tauira throughout the day. Your leadership, patience, and mana made a real impact. 💛

We’re also deeply grateful to the amazing team at Kai Connoisseurs for nourishing our tinana with beautiful kai, while also helping coordinate the day alongside Noaia and Road II Redemption.

To our MVPs... thank you for your hard mahi and dedication. It was a privilege to acknowledge your contribution with a small koha voucher in appreciation of the energy and commitment you brought to the kaupapa.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone involved in making the day such a success. This is what collaboration, whakawhanaungatanga, and collective growth looks like. ✨
