Tree Planting at Donald's Farm - Papakura Stream Restoration Project
Whitford, 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.

On this day we will be planting native trees to filter contaminants from entering the stream and provide food and habitat for native birds, reptiles, bats and insects.
