This project in the northern Ruahine range aims to support wildlife recovery in both the back country and front country - along the forest park-farmland boundaries and streams that flow from the Ruahine.  The vision is to further protect the wildlife, expanding the traplines as juveniles fledge into unprotected stream catchment areas.  A major part of the vision is to reconnect Maori, both hapu and rangitane members back to the whenua.  The link takes you to the Mauri Oho website.
