Massive appreciation to Theo Arraj for his vision, and to the hāpu and youth voices who have been instrumental in the development of this project. Thanks also to Satnam, Raglan Four Square for sponsoring food and refreshments.

The reservoir restoration project has been funded with thanks to WEL Energy Trust, Progressive Property, Waikato District Council, and Raglan Naturally Community Trust for support with funding from the Department of Internal Affairs Community-Led Development Fund.
