WORKING WITH OUR WATERWAYS
Calling all farmers, horticulturalists, viticulturists, lifestyle block owners and residents who are interested in flood resilient land and improving the water quality within the river catchments from Matakana to Warkworth.
We have a new and improved Working With Our Waterways workshop, with Danny Klimetz - Auckland Council’s fluvial geomorphologist, and stream restoration and environmental research scientist. We are keen for people within the Matakana and Glen Eden catchment to attend.
Find out more about our river catchments and discuss the impact of stream management, good and bad, on farmers, businesses, and communities downstream.
• The Matakana catchment and our storm frequency.
• Natural waterway processes.
• How rivers and streams respond to flooding and
long-term changes in flows.
• Waterway channel formation and what to consider
on your property.
• Strategies to reducing flood and channel instability.
• Clearing debris dams and what landowners should
consider.
Network with others to be better prepared for large storm events.
Martin Evans FOAM volunteer with extensive knowledge about the Matakana catchment.
Light lunch provided.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
