Enhancing Drainage Ditches NZ

6 September 2022  12:00 pm - 3:00 pm National

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.

Native Plants & the Honey Bee - Northland

22 September 2022  11:00 am - 12:00 pm Northland, New Zealand

Kia ora

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.
