AIM To design an ecological and cultural restoration of the sacred puna (spring) at Pohara Marae, and the stream which connects the puna to the tupuna awa (the Waikato River).The master plan should include revegetation, provide connections to Pohara marae and optionally suggest a possible extension of the papakÄ inga. Aim for high quality cultural, ecological and social outcomes, in line with the strategies established in phase one. VISION The vision of our strategy is to assist Ngati Koroki Kahukura towards producing food and resources they require to live from their land and water within their rohe to provide for their families as well as protecting their natural environment and significant cultural sites that recognise places of identity for the future generations. This may also include an aim to implement potential strategies to provide cultural services that will provide variety of benefits people obtain from ecosystems through spiritual enrichment, recreation, and aesthetic experiences. The key objective is to develop, encourage and grow the ecological state of both the land and the people of Ngati Koroki Kahukura
