HERE'S A WRAP
With much of our work being delivered outside Hauraki Coromandel and often involving long lead times, we thought a bi-monthly update on some released highlights from our region might help keep you informed about some of our mahi. Since many of our media files remain under wraps until their release, it may take several months after completion before we can share results.
This update is not meant to be a deep dive into all our activities but rather a high-level overview of some of the past months' highlights.
