Cultural connections and a kayak trail at Kaituna wetland
There are few things we can thank the early NZ acclimatisation societies* for, but Kaituna Wetland is definitely one of them.
Wetlands are a big deal in the Bay of Plenty. Less than 1% of their original extent remains and our largest remnant – the Lower Kaituna Wildlife Management Reserve is fast becoming an even bigger deal.
We co-manage it with Fish & Game & Environment BOP and collectively we’ve been working on improving water flow, controlling weeds, retiring adjacent grazing land and most exciting of all, building a kayak trail.
The DOC team have been doing lots of work at Kaituna over the last couple of weeks; some of our rangers have been weed spraying in preparation for a Conservation Week planting day with Te Puke High School, Intermediate, Te Kura Kaupapa and the local Forest & Bird branch this coming Tuesday.
