Emily Rameka
The Trustees were deeply saddened to lose fellow Trustee, Emily Rameka, who passed away on 17th December 2013. Emily was a highly valued, long standing Trustee, who contributed a great deal to East Taupo Lands Trust, and she will be greatly missed.
2013 Financial Statements
Financial statements have been completed and audited, and are now available on the website.
Development of Trust land at Runanga
The development is now well underway and the Trustees are making good progress clearing the land, fencing, fertilizing and planting crops.
Approximately 150 children who were in Taupo in early December for the Te Wiki Hakinakina Rangatahi event, spent ½ a day out at Rangitaiki clearing rubbish. The Trust provided transportation and lunch for everyone who helped and also gave a donation to the event. It was a wonderful way for the Trust to support this event, and our iwi, and the kids enjoyed the day out, even if it was dirty work!
The Trust is also currently employing two owners to fell single trees in gully and creek areas, which are not accessible by a bulldozer, and it should take about three weeks to complete this work.
Honey
166 hives were placed on Trust land in December, and the Trustees hope to get a good harvest of honey from these towards the middle of this year. The Trustees were disappointed that the contractor did not manage to place more hives, due to the weather, however they are already looking at other options for the next honey season.
