Mark Wheeler has been living here for 25 years, farming a property where it would be fair to say that the "Owahanga river ruled your life".The farm has now sold, so I’m semi-retired but keep myself involved within the community. I’m on the committee of several local organisations that each make a positive contribution to the welfare of our people and the quality of the environment out here, and becoming involved with the catchment group seemed to be a natural fit alongside that.
