Members: 15
We were established in 2017 and have implemented consistent Land Environment Plans across all our member properties. We have also partnered with the ORC to run an intensive water quality monitoring program that has helped us better understand the impact we have.
More recently we have been fortunate enough to establish a joint project with the Ministry for the Environment to protect some of the critical source areas identified in the Farm Plans.
