NEW! ROY'S BAY WEST HABITAT RESTORATION
The Roy’s Bay West Project is a habitat restoration project to be undertaken along the Lake Wanaka foreshore between Stoney Creek and Waterfall Creek. This restoration project is Te Kākano's second native habitat restoration initiative, following the successful Waterfall Creek project.
This foreshore is part of the current Glendhu Bay track (previously known as the Millennium track) and is also a part of the Te Araroa trail network (a foot trail stretching from Cape Reinga to Bluff). The project will be carried out in different stages and is divided into 7 distinct sections (shown above) based on existing vegetation, landscape values and use.
As this project is part of a community effort, we greatly value and welcome any feedback or comments from the public, so we can undertake a restoration that is both pleasing and beneficial to all parties.
Further details are in our project brochure.
Each stage of the project will have different costs and we are currently looking for support from the community to carry out the project. You can help sponsor an amount, a portion of the stage or even an entire stage. If you are interested in helping to see this project to fruition, please get in contact with us.
The project has been approved in principle by the Queenstown Lakes District Council and the Wanaka Community Board.
COMMUNITY PROJECTS
As well as propagating plants for our own projects, Te Kākano also provides eco-sourced plants for projects run by other local community and not-for-profit organisations.
We are happy to work with individual groups to discuss how we can best help them achieve their re-vegetation goals of specific projects.
If you are interested in sourcing plants from us, please read our 'Notes for Applicants' and complete and return our 'Application Form' (see sidebar).
Please Note: Te Kākano's nursery has been set up to support community projects in the Upper Clutha Basin and does not sell plants to the general public for personal use.
Our plants have been used for the Groups/Projects below:Bike Wanaka Inc / Lismore Park (22APR11)
