Moehau Stream
Where can you find the group?
Moehau Stream is in Trentham, a suburb of Upper Hutt. The banks of the stream are being planted from Holdsworth Ave to where it joins the Hutt river. Follow the link to see an aerial photo of the area.

What has the group done?
Moehau Stream starts in Wallaceville, runs through Trentham and ends up next to Bartons Bush in Trentham Memorial Park before flowing into the Hutt river.

The group has prepared a management plan for restoring the stream next to Bartons Bush. Trials for clearing weeds and a planting programme have been carried out over the last few years. These trials were succesful, and a more extensive weed clearance and planting programme has begun!

Special thanks to the Department of Corrections for their commitment to weed control at this site.

The group is growing plants at the local Forest & Bird nursery. Fergusson Intermediate planted trees at the first site in 2005, and Trentham Primary school planted at the second riparian site in 2006. Corporate Volunteers from Accor Hotels Group, and ANZ National have also been involved with planting and caring for new trees.

The eventual aim is to remove the willows to allow the stream to flow smoothly, and to replant the banks of the stream in natives to bring Bartons Bush across to Moehau Park.
