Parininihi ki Waitotara kaitiakitanga projects

Parininihi ki Waitotara is a Māori incorporation that farms a large area of Taranaki on behalf of its shareholders. Its kaitiakitanga hub maps the environmental projects under way across those farms.

The hub is an ArcGIS site with maps and project pages for the incorporation's stewardship work. It sits alongside PKW's part in trials of feed crops that cut methane, run with the Ag Emissions Centre.
