Recent Events
Understanding Our Water Quality
We met with leading Water Quality Specialist, Justin Kitto, who spoke to us about the current, available water quality data for the Kuriwai and Don Streams in the Glenham Catchment. An eDNA test was conducted and Justin explored the results with us.
Willow Eradication and Removal
Crack Willows are an emerging issue in our Catchment, and we think tackling Willow Eradication as a Catchment Group is a great solution. One of the lead farmers in the Pourakino Catchment Group came along to our meeting and spoke of their Willow Eradication Project, and some tips and tricks to willow eradication and removal. Environment Southland also spoke to us about how they can support willow eradication.
Thriving Southland is a community-led group with a vision to create a prosperous Southland, healthy people, healthy environment from the mountains to the sea.
