Restoring the mauri and flow of the Foxton River Loop.
At Save Our River Trust (SORT), we're driven by a shared commitment to restoring and conserving Piriharakeke (the Manawatū River Loop at Foxton) and our waterways beyond.
Our journey began with a recognition of the environmental degradation caused by mismanaged earthworks in 1943, altering the natural course of the Manawatū River and impacting the well-being of the River Loop and Te Awahou (Foxton).
From the Piriharakeke Walkway to the $3.86 million dollar upgrade to the River Loop Reserve. Our team of volunteers have been taking action for over 20 years.
Community-Led
It’s because of dedicated leadership, visionaries, experts, shovel-ready locals, and a new generation of movers and shakers volunteering at SORT, that we're making a difference twenty years on.
