With the election out of the way, our focus is going back on our waterways. In coming months we are going to drill down into some of the issues that are facing our fresh water. First out of the blocks we are going to get down and dirty, and talk about some of the crap that is in our rivers. Literally.

Before we get up to our neck in shit, we wanted to kick things off with one of the people that inspired us to do this work. Lance Talstra walked the length of New Zealand on the Te Araroa trail (3000km!) to raise awareness of water quality. Have a listen to what he saw on the way.
