davidb Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hey guys, I need to do a research project in the Napier/Hastings region, focussing on community involvement in habitat restoration projects. So if any of you have any contacts or helpful websites for people involved in tree-planting, weeding, pest-management etc on a voluntary basis, that would be very helpful.

davidb Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 cheers Zev. I think an interesting topic would be how people who negatively influence the environment (eg Duck Shooters at Peka Peka Swamp) can positively enahnce the environment, through habitat restoration.

Zev Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yeah... maimai's sticking up in the middle of the swamp look sooooo natural! Mind you, so do the dead or semi-dead non native willow trees. They are cleaning up the wetlands by the Waitangi bridge as well, we are going over to Napier later, I will see what the project is called. Unfortunately the Karamu stream project may have suffered a setback with the floods we had last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
