Stream Care - Native Riparian Planting

STREAM CARE APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN NOW!

Stream Care is part of our 2023 Plant Subsidy Program. Applications are now open and close 5 March.

What is Stream Care?

Riparian margins to plant in Golden Bay? Project Mōhua's Stream Care can help by providing subsidised native plants to landowners.

Stream Care's goal is to help towards creating healthy streams and eco-corridors throughout Golden Bay by providing landowners with access to subsidised native riparian plants. Since the initiative started in 2020 over 8900 riparian natives have been planted through the Stream Care initiative.

Landowners need to be committed to ensuring the success of plantings by fencing riparian margins at a suitable width and through appropriate site preparation, planting and ongoing maintenance. Applications are encouraged for 1000+ plants (though orders of >500 will be considered on a case by case basis).

The subsidy is funded by the Cobb Mitigation Fund and Fonterra Sustainable Catchment Fund.
