The Hull's Creek restoration project
The Silverstream Care group is a collaboration between Upper Hutt Forest and Bird and the Silver Stream Railway. They have come together to restore Hull's Creek from Field Street in Silverstream to the confluence with the Hutt River (opposite Reynolds Bach Drive). They are improving the habitat of the stream for fish and aquatic insects and creating a corridor of native plants for birds. So far they have removed problem trees such as willows and a range of other weed species and planted and cared for nearly 12,000 native plants, from small stream-side sedges, to large kahikatea trees. They have also created a fish pass to enhance the passage of native fish to the upper stretches of the stream.
As this is Upper Hutt City Council land the Care Group are hoping in the long term that a Hull's Creek Walkway with boardwalks and signs will be developed.
Getting to the cache
Enter the walkway on the northern side of the stream on Field Street, there is parking around the corner on Kiln. Follow the stream along the mown stretch to the cache.
Please make sure the cache is well sealed and concealed before you leave.
Cheers!
