We are Pūniu River Care Inc & our vision is to create & nurture safe, thriving environments where healthy waters sustain vibrant communities across Aotearoa, New Zealand.
The name of the programme Te Aukaiao was given to this kaupapa by Paraone Gloyne. 'Te au' refers to the current in any body of water. In this case, the current of the Pūniu river and all the other smaller streams and waterways that lead to the Pūniu river.
