Manawatu-Whanganui Office

This office was established in September 2011and forms part of an exciting strategy where the Landcare concept is being rolled out into new geographical areas.

Regional Coordinator Alastair Cole has been working with rural community members along with agency and local government representatives. He has strong links in the area thanks to three years working as a Consents Planner with Horizons Regional Council prior to joining the Trust. Alastair specialised in farm consents, so is experienced working with farmers, farming corporates and farm service providers.

Details of the latest projects can be found in the right hand column of this page.
