Conservation and restoration

Greater Wellington staff are available to offer advice about how to restore streams to good health by planting streamside areas.

In this section there is information about:

• Why and how to restore rural and urban streams - Mind the stream
• Greater Wellington's Streams Alive programme which offers financial assistance to landowners in 12 catchments around the region that have a high ecological value.
• Controlling problem weeds in riparian zones.
• You can also open a copy of the booklet Mind the stream - a guide to looking after urban and rural streams in the Wellington region from the documents bar on the right of this screen. Email publications if you would like us to send you a copy.

If you are part of a community group and would like help under Greater Wellington's Take Care programme, check out the Get Involved section of this site.
