Green Ribbon for region
Taranaki’s region-wide streamside fencing and planting programme has won national recognition with a prestigious Green Ribbon Award.
The Council Chairman, David MacLeod, says the Green Ribbon Award is an honour for the whole Taranaki region, not just the Council.
“In particular, it is for the hundreds of Taranaki farmers who have been working with the Council and other partners for two decades now to protect and enhance the region’s waterways by fencing and planting thousands of kilometres of streambanks,” he says “They are literally transforming Taranaki.”
