April Toru Trail: Celebration of Regeneration in Mikimiki, Masterton
Last month’s Toru Trail was a celebration of regeneration, of nature’s capacity to heal, of recloaking Papatuanuku.
Toru Trustee Hella Coenen and partner Joep live on 240 acres at the edge of the Tararua Forest Park. A large part of their property has been given back to nature for regeneration into bush since they arrived there 16 years ago. This has been recognised by the QE II Trust, and 97 acres are under a covenant, which means ‘protected in perpetuity’.
