A $250,000 grant will enable a project to investigate the past ecology of the 14 nationally culturally significant
rock art sites around Opihi in South Canterbury.
The grant for the project, led by Te Ana Rock Art Trust and Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research, was announced by Minister of Research, Science and Innovation, Megan Woods, at Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research in Lincoln last week.
