Watersheds on talk agenda

Freshwater management, including integrated watershed management in the Mahurangi area, will be the subject of this month’s Warkworth Town Hall Talk on Wednesday, October 11.

The guest speaker will be Auckland Council Wai Ora Partnerships team manager Jonathan Benge.

Dr Benge has spent a large part of his working life in environmental disciplines across central and local government and the private sector, in the UK and New Zealand.

“Many of my roles have had a water focus, including managing some the Europe’s finest chalk stream rivers,” he says. “I am passionate about helping people to better understand issues around water management.”

Doors open at 5.15pm for a 5.30pm start. All welcome. Koha appreciated.

The talk is jointly sponsored by Mahurangi Action and One Warkworth.
