Our showcase this year will feature ongoing activities and scheduled workshops for you and the entire whānau that demonstrate how land, water, flora, fauna, climate, and us humans are all connected. ⁠Huge thank you to The Lions Foundation who are generously helping fund this collaborative showcase at the 2023 Wānaka A&P Show.
