Since its inception, Te Kohuroa Rewilding has been inspired by the principle of inclusivity. To make sure the project is truly open to all, the project team is fostering inclusive pathways for communities that are currently under-represented in the environmental restoration space.

The inaugural Community Restoration Day at Te Kohuroa highlighted the transformative power of collective action in environmental restoration. Through shared kai, cultural exchange, and collaborative environmental efforts, this event helped community to restore Te Kohuroa’s marine ecosystem and strengthen ties in meaningful and lasting ways.
