Rotary Club of South Wairarapa supports Wairio Wetland Restoration

June 2007

Lesley Christian, President of the Rotary Club of South Wairarapa, presenting a cheque for $5,000 to Ross Cottle, President of DUNZ, said "the Rotary Club was delighted to be able to support Ducks Unlimited NZ with its restoration project at the Wairio Wetland." The funds which were raised at the Club's very successful Martinborough Fair, would be used for fencing and tree planting in a recently rehabilitated area of the wetland. Ross Cottle, in thanking Lesley and the Club, said "it was most encouraging to have the financial support of a local service organisation like Rotary. We would also love to have Club members along at our planned winter tree planting working bee in August!"
