We are a community group committed to working collaboratively to restore the ecological health of the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River and its catchment.Our collaborative approach means that we work with the ‘planners’ (from Christchurch City Council and Environment Canterbury) on River issues, and the ‘doers’ – the community groups, schools and others that work along the River. We are also involved in catchment-wide River activities such as the annual Mother of all Clean-ups in May, World Rivers Day, Estuary Fest and other events.
