Share your knowledge on the Ōtākaro Avon River corridor
The Ōtākaro Avon River corridor is a special place for so many people.
For some, it was home. For others, it still is.
If you've lived there, or been a regular visitor, chances are you know things about the land that we don't.
Did you have a natural spring at the end of your garden? Were you forever digging up old pottery and bottles? Was your area a favourite nesting place for the local birdlife?
We want the local knowledge, wisdom, and experiences of the people and communities that love this land to help shape the regeneration plan.
Share your local knowledge and observations - you can either upload your research, videos, photos and drawings in the 'local knowledge' section, or drop a pin and comment on the map.
Feedback closes 18 March 2017.
Your local knowledge will be added to an online, publically accessible database of information on the land that will help inform regeneration planning for the Ōtākaro / Avon River Corridor.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
