He toenga iti noa tēnei hōpua, mai i Te Hōpua nui o Awapuni taha moana. I ngā tau 2000, i tukuna tēnei hōpua ki te QEII National Trust Covenant tēnei hōpua ka huihui ngā roopu kore utu ki te rumaki rākau tūturu me ngā harakeke ki ngā repo. Kua pakari ānei rākau, kua tipu ake ngā karaka, karo, karamu me ngā kōwhai i raro i te maru o ngā rākau. Ka mātakihia te nuinga o ngā pokipoki hopu kararehe kaikinokino hei whakapūmau i te oranga o ngā manu noho repo.
He tino pai rawa atu tēnei wāhi hei haringa Tamariki, he tata hoki ki Tūranganui. He haerenga āwhio i raro i ngā rākau, taha hōpua i waenga i te rori o Makitānara me Ara ki Te Raki o Papaioea ki te Ara Tereina o Tūranganui. He marumaru i hangaia ki te ara taha hōpua. He wāhi pai ki te mātaki manu, he wāhi tino whakamahia e ngā kura hei wāhi akoranga.
Ko te kawenata whakahaere i nāianei kei a Sisterson Lagoon Restoration Trust. Kei Sisterson Lagoon facebook page, ngā whakaahua, ngā inoi ki ngā kaimahi me ētahi atu āhuatanga e pā ana ki ngā repo/hōpua.

Tino nui rawa tau ngā kererū, kākā, pūkeko, kakariki i ngā papatahi me te manomano rakiraki te kitea i ngā repo/hōpua o Awapuni e ngā iwi o Rongowhakaata, Ngāi Tāmanuhiri me te Aitanga a-Māhaki i mua i te taenga mai o Tauiwi. Ko ngā awawhāiti e rua rere atu ki te awanui te whakawhitinga pā tuna i hangaia, tiakina e ngā whānau. Ka whakaekea e te kanae, tuna, inanga, i te wāhanga paria te tai.Te Runanga o Tūranganui a Kiwa
I ngā tau 1950 ka tahuna ngā otaota, rākau iti, me ngā repo o te Hōpua o Awapuni. I karia he kōawa hei rerenga wai ki te awa o Waipāoa, ka huria te whenua hei pāmu. He toenga mai i ngā hōpua taketake, ahakoa paku, ko te Hōpua Sisterson tēnei. Gisborne Photo News
