Catchment Group Showcase.

Each year we aim to showcase one catchment group per region across the country, with the initiative sponsored by Mountains to Sea in every region except Canterbury, which is sponsored by Tavendale and Partners.

The Catchment Group Showcase follows a similar format to the BFEA regional awards, with sector experts meeting with the catchment groups to hear their stories and assess the great work they are doing based on a range of criteria including:

• The outcomes focus on identifying and prioritising risks and actions addressing water quality issues
• Their involvement of the local community including iwi and youth
• The robustness of their monitoring and evaluation and use of expertise to inform the programme
• Their approach to other outcomes such as soil, nutrients, climate and biodiversity.

All groups are provided with feedback from sector experts about their activities and potential areas of focus for the future as they continue on their sustainability journey.
