Drainage ditches are a feature of rural New Zealand which offer opportunities to improve water quality and biodiversity. These landscape features were initially created to remove water from productive lands, but now are seen as one of the key to improving water quality and diversity.

With the loss of 90% of New Zealand wetlands, many of the species dependent on wetland have population declines. Farm Dams are artificial small lakes and can be enhanced to provide habitat for both aquatic and terrestrial species. This webinar will provide landowners with simple ways to improve their dams to provide habitat for wildlife.

September is Bee Aware Month, an education campaign run annually by Apiculture New Zealand.
At NZ Landcare Trust we thought this would be a great opportunity to look at the synergies between planting for bees and planting for environmental and landscape improvement - using native species.
We work to encourage sustainable land and water management and are always looking to partner with our primary industries, such as ApiNZ.
If you are interested in planting for bee forage, streambank restoration, erosion control or boosting farm production here in Northland, this short webinar should get you buzzing with ideas.
