Mid Taieri Wai

The Mid Taieri Wai group is a local community led group, established in 2022 to promote sustainable land use and water management practises in the mid Taieri catchment.

The group seeks positive outcomes for our environment and works to ensure our rural communities are vibrant and economically sustainable.

The Mid Taieri Wai catchment group encompasses 200,000ha of land area in the Lee Stream, Clarks Junction, Strath Taieri and Nenthorn areas.

The group has hosted a number of workshops and planting days. In 2022 Mid Taieri Wai were the recipients of the Westpac Water Care Fund, the group undertook several Stream Health Assessments in the area to form a baseline of data. This will help drive projects going forward.

The group have also educated farmers and school groups on how to carry out their own Stream Health Assessments.
