Nearly 170 people gathered together on Motutapu Island to celebrate CCET's first anniversary. They enjoyed talks on the island's marine life and historic castles. They also tasted the traditional Maori meal, Hangi, which they participated in the preparation. To mark this special occasion, the CCET trustees planted a Pohutukawa on the island to symbolise the endless effort of the Trust to spread the message of conservation among the Chinese Community.
