Background to mural creation:
The mural was created to provide the youth of Foxton and Foxton Beach the opportunity to engage with the community in a creative way. It represents the past to the present, incorporating flora and fauna of the area and includes an environmental message about the importance of keeping the Manawatu River clean to sustain life in and around the river.
