About Us

The Arapārera Community Catchment Group (ACCG) is a community-led initiative working together to restore the health of our land and waterways.

We connect local landowners, farmers, and residents to share knowledge, plant natives, reduce sediment runoff, and protect biodiversity for future generations.

Vision: A connected and enabled community caring for the river, land and people of Arapārera.
