The Meaning of the Maanaki-Whenua Landcare Research
Logo
We must care for the land and its ability to sustain future generations.
Land is the ultimate source of healthy produce, clean water, recreation, and of spiritual strength. Land provides for the abundant diversity of life through the continuing cycle of birth, death, decay and regeneration. The environment is an inheritance for all people, and a legacy we leave to future generations.
The name of our logo is He Rau Manaaki.
The grey represents the mountains, rocks, soils, buildings and
roads.
The green represents the plants and forests, the koru show growth
and strength. The flowing leaves represent the inter-relationships of
all environmental processes.
