Hon DAVID PARKER: In the Nelson region, Project Mahitahi is a collaborative programme between the local council, iwi, and community partners to restore the ecological health of the Mahitahi Valley forest ecosystems. It's a five-year project, which will plant around 125,000 plants, restore wetlands, and carry out pest and plant control. It aims to enhance water quality, reduce the spread of invasive plant species, and preserve rare indigenous tree species. It's another example of Jobs for Nature making a tangible difference.
