Water monitoring update

Posted on March 25, 2019 by whangawehi

The March water monitoring data sheet is available below. Water flow is low at the moment and water temperatures are reasonably high. The data shows that some tributaries are still releasing a lot of E coli. A lot of geese have been observed in the forest, no doubt they affect water quality unfortunately.

Water Monitoring Whangawehi

Our water monitoring programme continues-the last run took place in early February. Despite the low flow, water quality was reasonable over the catchment. This means that our hard work to date is paying dividends.

Whangawehi bridge enhancement

Posted on October 23, 2018 by whangawehi

On Saturday the 8^th of October, a small group of hard core Whangawehi members gathered at the Whangawehi bridge to finish off building the new railing fence which was started　on the day of the　working bee. The work involved digging several holes in solid hard ground and it’s no wonder that the beer afterwards was well received. Well done to you all and thank you for your commitment.

Catchment update

Posted on October 23, 2018 by whangawehi

As you can see from the photo’s-all our trees have grown a lot　over the winter period.　They　are　flourishing and there is nothing stopping them now. Water is flowing very clear in the Whangawehi stream but algae are already starting to　pop up　at Mamangu which is a bit early.

A new tree species-the Poroporo-is now growing along the river which has been self-introduced by birds.　Poroporo is a　native tree already present in the DOC reserve. A small scrub-the Poroporo is traditionally a very valuable plant to　Maori　because of it’s　itch relief properties. It’s a delightful looking plant that is known to grow extremely fast.

It is great to see that the cycle of nature is taking place and allowing the　diversification of our local biodiversity.
