Press Release – Greater Wellington Regional Council
Wairarapa Moana Wetlands Project is inviting the community to Lake Domain, on the Northern shores of Lake Wairarapa, on Sunday 21 March for a free event featuring live music, interactive artworks and the chance to discover creatures that live in the waters of Wairarapa Moana.
‘Whakarongo ki te taiao – Feeling the land’s rhythms’ is a community event celebrating Wairarapa Moana’s recognition as an ‘internationally significant’ wetland under the Ramsar Convention.
The recognition, which was announced in August last year, was welcomed with excitement from mana whenua, the community, Greater Wellington and its project partners who have been working together for years to protect and restore this beloved ancestor for local iwi and precious resource for the future.
