The project, named Ngahere Ora, cost over $300,000. We are so grateful to have the expences of this project covered by DOC, Foundation North, our corporate partners, and, private donors.
Huge ups to the team at NZ AutoTraps along with donors, volunteers and workers for helping be a part of the
solution. I believe the AT220, with continual improvements, has a great future and has earned its place in the kete.
Kia ora!
