Boost for wetland<br />
By DAVID HILL,<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
AKaikōura wetland project will<br />
receive afunding boost to help with<br />
restoration work.<br />
The Kaikōura Zone Committee has<br />
recommended agrant of $6<strong>16</strong>0 be<br />
made to aproject to restorethe<br />
Tirohanga Wetland, acoastal<br />
wetland to the north of Kaikōura.<br />
The funding would come from the<br />
zone committee’s $75,000 <strong>2023</strong>/24<br />
action plan budget, if approved by<br />
Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
It would pay for fencing to protect<br />
the wetland from livestock,<br />
filtration of runoff and weed<br />
control.<br />
In the funding application<br />
presented to last month’s zone<br />
committee meeting, Environment<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>senior biodiversity<br />
advisor Heath Melville said the<br />
weeds included black alders and<br />
willow, which were becoming apest<br />
in the wetland.<br />
He said the landowner would be<br />
contributing $6630 to the project.<br />
The project has previously<br />
received the Immediate Steps<br />
funding from Environment<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>in2021, following the<br />
20<strong>16</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> earthquake,<br />
for native planting and tackling<br />
weeds.<br />
