There are a range of resources available, such as Waikato Regional Council’s Clean Streams Guide, that provide an introduction to managing riparian margins. If you want to understand the issues facing waterways on your property, reading these is a useful starting point. The Planting Tool builds on this information, by summarising the key issues, objectives and most common site conditions, and identifying the plants known to perform in those specific circumstances.

Start Regenerating Nature
Sustainable Business Network
Aotearoa's unique biodiversity Due to its relative isolation, this country has incredible biodiversity. There are an estimated 80,000 species of native animals, plants and fungi found only here. This biodiversity is at risk. Three quarters of New Zealand’s bush has been cut down and 90% of the wetlands have been drained to create farmland, towns and cities. Three quarters of native fish species are threatened with extinction. All Kiwis have an important role to play in the regeneration of our natural systems.

Starter's guide to predator control on farms

Introduced predators (rats, mice, possums, stoats, ferrets and weasels) create havoc on farms. They eat crops, spread diseases including bovine TB and Leptospirosis, damage equipment, and harm native plants and wildlife. They also breed fast: one pregnant rat can result in 400 more rats in just six months.

NZ Constructed Wetland Planting guidelines
NIWA
During the last 10-15 years, constructed wetlands have become an increasingly popular option for upgrading waste stabilisation ponds and other wastewater treatment plants around New Zealand (Tanner et al., 2000; Tanner and Sukias, 2003). This has been encouraged by their comparatively low construction and operating costs, perceived "naturalness", and provision of ancillary benefits, such as wildlife habitat.
