Land

Tree planting is a requirement on Overlay 3A erosion-prone land.  Land owners/managers of the most erosion-prone land are to establish trees or shrubs, and maintain tree cover already present on the land.

As part of the government's package of climate change initiatives this scheme offers landowners grants to establish forests.

Wetlands under restoration include Oranga wetland at Nicks Head Station, Whereowhero lagoon and Tarau Valley wetland.

Streamside planting guide has been developed as an easy to follow step-by-step guide to native planting on urban streamsides.
