Sharing a vision for the waterways in Houghton Valley
This Wednesday, 14 April, the Wellington region Whaitua Committee, Te Kāhui Taiao and neighbouring water restoration groups have been specially invited to join the Houghton Valley community for an evening of shared aspirations and conversations about how to restore the Houghton Valley water catchment. A group of locals are passionate about solving our environmental problems and are keen to share their vision and challenges.
This invitation is also open to the Houghton Valley community as an introduction to the ideas, but there with be further community engagement opportunities as the project gains momentum. If you are interested in coming along this week here are some details:
- 5.30pm: the event will begin at the Buckley Road Reserve playground near Hungerford Road with a welcome and look at the nearby springs and wetland area. Parking is a little congested around the playground at times, so if you are coming by car, make sure you allow time to walk from your parking spot to arrive before 5.30 pm;
- 6.00pm: everyone will reconvene at the school hall for some kai and the Houghton Valley presentation. The Whaitua Committee and Te Kāhui Taiao members will then have the opportunity to introduce themselves, and share a bit about what they are doing. The rest of the evening will be open for facilitated conversations, questions and dialogue until about 8 – 8.30 pm, or whenever it’s appropriate to wrap up.
If you are able to RSVP by Tuesday morning that would be great (to help with catering), but otherwise please just come – we would love your support!
