Council helps Te Puke marae revitalise Pā site

Communications from Western Bay of Plenty District Council

Ngati Tuheke hapū of Makahae Marae received $19,000 from Council’s Community Matching Fund in 2017 for an environmental project to clear the Te Kahika Pā site of invasive weeds and restore its 'korowai' (cloak) of native trees and plants. The project has seen the eradication of scrub and weeds, 3700 plants and trees planted, a new fruit orchard and a manuka block to support the marae’s bee keeping and honey production aspirations. Ka pai!
