Avon-Ōtākaro Network

We promote the future use of the Ōtākaro/Avon River and the surrounding red zone lands as an ecological and recreational reserve for the community.

We wish to establish a community-driven, science-informed living memorial to rejuvenate and nurture the long-term environmental, economic, community and spiritual wellbeing of the eastern suburbs and greater Christchurch.

We aim to create a place of hope and inspiration for the people of Christchurch by restoring health and vitality to our river and its lands.
