Welcome to the bountiful coastline

Titirangi is the mountain

Uawanui a Ruamatua is the river

Te Aitanga a Hauiti is the iwi

Calendar the dates for the 2025 Coastal Restoration Trust Conference.

Join us at Uawanui a Ruamatua Tolaga Bay from 12-14 March 2025 where you can enjoy marae accommodation and the significance of the venue, historic Reynolds Hall.

Ūawa Tolaga is blessed with a beautiful beach and is known for its very long wharf which is something of an icon of the local area. Historically, Ūawa Tolaga is a site where Captain Cook made a landing on his circumnavigation of Aotearoa.

There will be a free Dunes 101 pre conference workshop with Jim Dahm at 4pm on Tuesday 11 March at Ūawa Tolaga Bay. As part of conference proceedings, Graeme Atkins will be sharing his knowledge about rare coastal plants and Manu Caddie will be talking about sustainable land management. Dr Murray Cave, chief scientist at Gisborne District Council will also be speaking.

More details to come with future announcements about speakers as well as updates about registration.
