CARE GROUP
Enhancing the Environment. Thriving Community
The Tukipo catchment, centred around Ashley Clinton, is home to a strong farming community committed to practical, long-term environmental improvement. Through collaboration and on-the-ground action, the Tukipo Catchment Care Group is making steady progress on water quality, biodiversity, and farm resilience.
Running from the foothills of the Ruahine Ranges, through the Ruahine Plains before joining with the Tukituki River, the Tukipo catchment is home to a wide range of farming systems, including sheep and beef, dairy, deer, poultry, viticulture and arable.
With this diversity comes a range of impacts on water quality - something landowners are increasingly recognising and addressing through practical, on-farm action.
