We are progressing Wairoa Stream restoration again this year.
Magnificent progress has been made by a committed few to tackle the impenetrable weeds and clear the way for track-building and planting.
We picked up from where we finished planting last year and cleared another 130m of difficult terrain toward Sammaree Reserve choker with weeds, spoil and rubbish! We removed large gum and pine trees and hauled out 5 trailer loads of rubbish – oil filters, tyres, beer bottles, plastic, car bodies, boat trailers - and buried an outcast concrete carpark! We created large piles of chip mulch and approximately 12 truckloads of green waste are waiting to be taken to a green fill site.
2014 marks the second year of planting at Wairoa Stream.
With the Tangatapu Wetland restoration on the Rawhiti Peninsular well underway, we've now set their sights on Kerikeri's Wairoa Stream, starting with a fun Community Planting Day that was held on Sunday 23rd June.
