The development of this catchment is driven by a "Mountain to Sea" philosophy. We recognise that the pristine environment of the mounga offers a unique opportunity to rethink our human behaviours to lift the health of the entire catchment as it flows through our lands and out to the coast.

This is not a top-down project; it is a ground-up, community-led movement. We want to bridge the gap between our urban centres like Inglewood (Kōhanga Moa) and our surrounding rural and agricultural sectors. By bringing together mana whenua, farmers, urban residents, schools, and local businesses, we are fostering a self-sustaining culture of environmental stewardship where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
