The Sweetwater Lakes Project

Protection of the lakes is already well underway. With the Ministry of Youth Affairs Conservation Corps youth training programme, we are planting native plants and trees and have fenced along the western sides of the Lakes Ngatu and Heather. Work is also in progress on a recreational walkway linking lakes Ngatu, Heather, Rotorua, Jewel and associated wetlands.

The Sweetwater Lakes project is entirely managed and implemented by local people all learning a wide range of skills. The potential for employment providing visitors with recreational and educational activities is significant. The area could become a unique outdoor classroom for the study of wetland biology, as well as a great place for family outings.
