Our regional representatives Jesse Bythell and Mark Sutton teamed up to host an event in Southland in January with covenant owners, Ron and Gay Munro, at their wetland covenant Mānuka Mire on the last Sunday in January, which was well timed to celebrate World Wetlands Day, observed annually on 2 February. Attendees from all over the region got together see first-hand the hard work that Ron and Gay have put into their wetland covenant.
