Meet the people of KMR
KMR acts as a catalyst to support and sustain ongoing environmental restoration projects across the Kaipara Moana catchment.
As we scale up our efforts, KMR works with and through a growing number of local businesses, nurseries, mana whenua, industry and other partners to engage and support a diverse range of landowners and groups. As KMR is a voluntary programme, the people on the ground are key to our success.
