Should Wellington unearth its streams. Wellington has 700km 700km of culverted streams within the Wellington city limits, compared to as little as 60km of open streams.
Around the world cities are dayligting streams – the process of digging urban streams out of darkness to restore them to their more natural conditions.
Daylighted streams do a better job of retaining and distributing nutrients for plants and wildlife, can act as a natural water filter, and are less vulnerable to flooding
They can also add a lot of vibrancy to public space, Blaschke said.
Tell us what you think of bringing streams like Waitangi Stream (pictured) back to life?

This week we introduce a new photographer, Roger Smith, to Friday Feathered Friend. He recently spotted a sooty tern in the Waikanae Estuary, where he is a regular photographer.
“I had taken a walk along the sandspit to have a look at the white-fronted tern flock there - not expecting to see any interesting birds - and I was stunned to see this lovely brown bird amongst them again...With the sun right behind me, I crawled very slowly holding my camera in front of my face until, after about 20 metres of inching over hot sand, I got within a few metres of it. It wasn't aware of my presence, so I just lay there and took over 100 shots before backing away.”

My trusty BERNINA Of 50 years has broken down for the first time ever!
I don’t hold out much hope in it being repaired.
I replaced the lightbulb and it blew and the machine stopped!!

I’m hoping one of my Neighbours has one that is surplus to requirements and is affordable.

Please Private Message me.
Many thanks
Jayne
