The couple now live at Hampden, and Mrs Stalker is involved in organising a meeting to explore the practicalities of setting up a farmer-led catchment group for the area between Shag Point and Waianakarua. Representatives from the Otago Catchment Community and North Otago Sustainable Land Management (NOSLaM) will speak on their experiences of catchment groups. Forming a catchment group had been mooted for some time due to a gap in the area. NOSLaM covers about as far south as Herbert and the East Otago Catchment Group as far north as Shag Point. Mrs Stalker was elected to the Otago Catchment Community’s steering committee last year and said she enjoyed seeing what all the different catchment groups were doing.
