Ngahere Korowai is an ambitious project to cloak the bare hills behind Porirua East in a ngahere (forest) of native trees. Our Aotearoa Pasifika Mens Group, based at Wesley House at Cannons Creek, came up with the idea after a visit to Zealandia. They’ve been joined by Ngati Toa Rangatira, Greater Wellington Regional Council and a host of other organisations to get the planting project underway.
