Fun-n-gala time! Are you keen to plant natives?

Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November and we will swap your weed with a lovely native plant. We will have specimens of pest animals that are threatening our native species and will provide trapping demonstrations. Loads of fun for the kids! We will have a catchment model at our stall to play with to learn about sediment, streams, gullies and wetlands.

Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance. See you there.
