Kawerau’s Urban Food Forest (KUFF) project was launched in Feb 2017, & it is hoped it will soon become a source of fresh produce. The project will see thousands of fruit & nut trees, berries & herbs planted in the Monika Lanham Reserve. People can help themselves to the produce at no charge. A nursery & glasshouse will be built, & workshops held on seed gathering & sowing, & a community garden planted to provide fresh vegetables year-round. The project is largely thanks to funding support from BOPRC Environmental Enhancement Fund (EEF), which contributed $20,000. Our vision is to raise environmental awareness & use the enthusiasm & skills of the community. Enabling communities such as Kawerau to share fresh, healthy food is a way of bringing people together & building stronger networks.
