Clearing the top of Meola Catchment

July 3rd, 2021

Sel & Liz from STEPS joined dedicated volunteer staff from Plant and Food. We are clearing invasive weeds like moth plant, madeira vine, and woolly nightshade from their amazing and unique heritage plant collection. Removing pest plants from the top of Meola catchment reduces the odds of windblown seeds spreading further down the creek, improving the stream and its environs. Thanks to the team including Warren from STAMP.

Waitītiko Meola restoration – Kanuka St

July 3rd, 2021

Waitītiko and Point Chev community have a fantastic group of neighbours who are restoring rock forest opposite Kanuka St. STEPS is thrilled by progress made in removing wattles and many pest plants, uncovering native plants and seedlings, and even planting some new kohekohe, carex, flax and other. Meola Creek critters will be have better habitat and its banks will support more indigenous species day by day, year by year. Thanks Damien, Mary, Chris and Dan – you are inspirational.
