Te Whenua Ora o Taranaki is a community Trust working at the meeting place of mātauranga Māori and regenerative practice. We walk alongside whānau, hapū and landholders across the region.
Our mahi is led by kaitiakitanga - the responsibility to care for the whenua so that it can continue to care for the people upon it.
Wānanga and resources for the maramataka, Puanga and reading the tohu of the taiao.
Soil, water and biodiversity care on working whenua.
Connecting people to place, to each other and to tīpuna.
Our trustees bring whakapapa, knowledge and aroha for the whenua to every decision.
Every element of our tohu carries meaning - the maunga, the awa, the people and the living world they hold.
Our tupuna maunga, standing at the centre of all we do.
New beginnings - the light of Puanga marking the new year.
Growth, renewal and the unfolding of new life.
The awa that carry life from the maunga to the moana.
The people - past, present and future - at the heart of the kaupapa.
Ngahere and rākau, the living cloak of the whenua.
Manu of the ngahere, tohu of a thriving taiao.
