Tarata conservation area is covered with incredible indigenous flora and fauna. Pukatea, rimu, nīkau, and tawa are representative of a forest that once stood there at the lower stretches of the Waitara River. It's a place of, I understand, reflection and significance to Ngāti Maru, and it's hot that this transfer, particularly in light of—I'll just throw it in there—Matariki, the new pounga, another time to commemorate. Maybe this will be an appropriate time to rekindle that unbroken relationship that Ngāti Maru have had with the taiao mahi that has continued in those areas to improve the mauri of the ngahere hei korā.
