Help for hill erosion


Co-funding to help tackle erosion may be available for landowners in the Kaipara Moana catchment area.

The Kaipara Moana Remediation (KMR) programme has added to the range of remediation work it can fund in hill country, in addition to its usual fencing and native planting work to protect waterways.

Options include planting permanent or continuous canopy forests using native species or non-weedy, non-pine exotic tree species, such as eucalypts or redwoods; fencing and management to support regeneration of native forest; and space planting of poplars where some grazing is maintained.

KMR can also help community groups, marae, iwi, hapū or other collectives with the cost of group engagement and coordination to plan and manage projects, such as meetings and planting days.
