Prison project wins praise

The ongoing stewardship of the Waikeria Prison site and farmland is the key guiding principle for the landscape and ecological works. This has involved conservation of existing highly valued resource areas, enhancement of existing landscape and ecological values, restoration of degraded landscapes and a long-term vision of ecological biodiversity. A revegetation and restoration plan was prepared with Puniu River Care Incorporated, Maniapoto ki Te Raki, Raukawa Charitable Trust and Te Roopū Kaumātua o Waikeria. This plan was integrated with the Landscape and Visual Mitigation Plan and Ecological Enhancement and Mitigation Plan.
