A Wetland For Te WaihoraNovember 18, 2024

Ahuriri Lagoon was once an open body of water surrounded by a rich wetland, which had been a significant place and mahinga kai/food resource for the local iwi/tribe Ngai Tahu. Over the years the lagoon was completely drained for farming. Due to a community desire to see the lagoon restored, the Whakaora Te Ahuriri project was initiated to create a constructed wetland at this site.
