Te Hoiere Pelorus catchment is a special place - a place worth looking after.
The bush-clad high slopes of the headwaters are home to native trees and endangered species while lower slopes and the valley floor have been developed for forestry and farming.
Like arteries through the landscape, Te Hoiere/Pelorus River and Kaituna River sustain the whole area on their journey down to Motuweka/Havelock estuary and Te Hoiere/Pelorus Sound.
Te Hoiere Project proposes to address land use derived issues and achieve wider conservation goals using a holistic and collaborative approach. The Project's focus is on landscape-scale projects that have environmental, social, economic, and cultural benefits.
