Taiwawe Stream Reserve Restoration
Keep an eye out on our socials for information about Coast Care planting and weeding days along the Taiwaewae Stream Reserve at Hot Water Beach.
Sand Dune Restoration
The Hot Water Beach sand dunes are earmarked for future planting days. The Waikato Regional Council is currently undertaking an archilogical assessment before scheduling these planting days.
Taiwaewae Stream Orchard
The Hot Water Beach community is growing apples and stone fruits opposite Hot Waves, adjacent to the waste water treatment plant.
It all starts in our own backyards.
Pest plants pose a serious threat to our stream, reserves and coastal dune environments, out‑competing native plants and weakening the natural systems that protect our coastline. Everyone can play a role in managing these weeds and supporting restoration efforts.
On your own property
Everyone can identify and remove pest plants, particularly invasive vines and “garden escapees” that easily spread into stream reserves and coastal areas.
On public reserves and beaches
Keep an eye out for Coastcare planting and weeding days to collectively to remove pest plants, plant native species, and protect sensitive areas. If you see an invasive plant on public property, report it to Waikato Regional Council.
