About “Doubtless Bay Community Care for our Catchment”: This invitation is extended by Richard Robbins of the Far North Environment Centre. We’ve started a project with a long term aim – to improve water quality within the Doubtless Bay catchment, by taking an “integrated catchment management” approach that works with everyone in the catchment and sees the links between everything.
