The vision for our native planting projects is to create an environment alongside our local waterways that supports aquatic and terrestrial life. These waterways are an important link between the mountains and the seas, allowing our native animals to travel easily across the motu. 

These projects form part of the Biodiversity Strategy that our branch has signed up to with Hawke’s Bay Regional Council.  As well providing pathways for our native species, some of these areas will also provide good aesthetics to people who use these spaces for recreational purposes.
