Your project could receive up to $10,000 for native seedlings, traps, tools and other resources that can help the important mahi you do.

If you’ve already received this funding, don’t forget, this can be available for up to three years! Apply before 5pm on the 30th September on our website 👉 www.gw.govt.nz...
