Clutha planting days
DOC, together with Contact Energy and rural landowners, are improving freshwater habitat within the lower Clutha catchment. Our focus is on ensuring tuna/longfin eel, kanakana/lamprey, inanga/whitebait and giant kōkopu continue to have healthy, productive waterways to call home.
We are planting specific areas in the catchment to enhance habitat and give better shade, shelter and food sources so populations of these special native fish can grow and thrive. The plantings will also help stabilise edges, manage sediment, beautify areas and provide vegetation for insects and bird life.
The current project sites are on the banks of beautiful meandering streams, rivers and lagoons on private farms.
You’ll be working in either:
- the lower Clutha River/Mata-Au catchment area, 1 hour south of Dunedin, or
- around Waitahuna, 1 hour west of Dunedin just before Lawrence on SH8.
