Planting to benefit harbour

 

 

Riparian planting group 2018-84Mangawhai’s riparian group held a working bee and planting day at the Mangawhai Domain recently. The area was first planted a year ago, with extra plants added over time to fill gaps. As requested by Kaipara District Council, plants beside the river are small and grass-like (Oioi and Carex) that will not hinder water flow during flood events. This planting can easily be seen from the Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Road. 

The planting group is pictured on the other side of the road bridge, close to Tara Road, at another site planted several years earlier. This area is also weeded and spot planted.

“For the first time, we have been helped by three willing volunteers from Auckland engineering company Saeco Wilson,” says riparian group spokesperson Christine Silvester.

“Thanks to everyone for your help. Not only does this improve what was once a wasteland of weeds, it will also benefit water quality in Mangawhai harbour as the plants mature and control silt runoff from the land.”

New helpers are always welcome. Contact Christine on (09) 973 3433.
