Papakura Stream Project Launch - Planting Day
Brookby, Auckland

The Papakura Stream Restoration Project is a catchment wide programme that will restore and protect this important waterway and the habitat for the diverse species that call this area home. The project’s aim is to restore and protect stream banks and water quality, as well as habitat for native species. This restoration will include fencing (with Future Posts – recycled plastic fence posts), planting native trees and shrubs, water quality monitoring, plant maintenance, and community engagement. In partnership with Manurewa, Franklin and Papakura Local Boards, restoration will take place on both public land, and private land, working alongside farmers and other landowners. This project will also require the support of the local community and the corporate community in the form of volunteering, sponsorship and partnerships.

Papakura Stream Project launch event

Come join us for Endangered Species Day as we launch our stream restoration programme. The event will take place at Brookby Wildlife Habitat as we help private landowners, Mark and Nicky Auld, to restore their wetland areas and protect mature kahikatea stands and the nearby Papakura Stream. This wetland area will be fenced using Future Posts fence posts which are made from recycled soft plastic. This fencing is sponsored by  Mondelez New Zealand and will protect the stream and our restoration site from livestock. For our launch event we will get started on planting the 3,500 native trees to be planted here this coming winter. This area is home to the threatened kaka and longfin eel.
