It all began in 2010.
On April 26th 2010 a public meeting was held, and the Waitaki Riparian Enhancement Society was formed.
We are a voluntary organisation, we are funded by grants and donations and our annual fund raisers.
Our aim is to increase the wild salmon population in the Waitaki River. We achieve this by trapping and raising salmon brood stock, and releasing them a year later at a weight of around 100gm.
We had over 240 members, but the numbers have declined over time due to the aging membership. We have members who simply follow our progress via our newsletters, and others who like to get involved in our salmon rearing project and fundraisers.
