Four year restoration of Cashmere Stream completed

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Local landowners and community members armed themselves with spades and smiles to help the Cashmere Stream Care Group complete the final stage of a four-year restoration and enhancement planting project.

Around 2500 natives have been planted in the headwaters of Cashmere Stream.

Fencing and plantings will protect the banks of the spring-fed stream against erosion and keep the water temperature cooler for the tuna/eels and bullies in the stream.

The shade provided by the plants will help decrease weed species in the stream and the habitat will be more suitable for kōura/freshwater crayfish, which have been spotted in the catchment.

More than $500,000 has been contributed to the project through labour and resource from Christchurch City Council.
