SERN Spring Field Trip - Central Southland Meander

Following on from last years wonderful Fiordland Focus weekend, this year’s SERN field day will be a bus trip to Central Southland to visit two riparian restoration projects on Saturday 11th November . On the Cowie farm at East Limehills, John started work on planting along the Makarewa Stream several decades ago. He has introduced a number of threatened plant species so often missing from our riversides these days. After lunch and talks at the Otapiri Hall, we’ll carry on north to the well known Kowhai Reach to hear about exciting plans for major restoration work planned for there. Check out under Events for further details and how to register for this trip.
