Pan Pac Environmental Trust
We established the Pan Pac Environmental Trust in 2019.
The Trustees include representatives from Ngāti Parau, Mana Ahuriri Trust, Pan Pac Stakeholders Forum, Maungaharuru Tangitū Trust, Pan Pac Stakeholders Forum, Whirinaki residents and Pan Pac.
The Trust adds to Pan Pac’s existing community support and sponsorship initiatives in Hawke’s Bay.
