Restoration Plan – Pourewa Valley

Our Restoration Plan

The purpose of the Pourewa Valley Restoration Plan is to implement the vision and key restoration actions of the Pourewa Valley Integrated Plan.

The Pourewa Valley has been divided into 12 management units (MU’s), and information on vegetation types, baseline water quality results, and pest plant & animal type, extent and threat status has been captured for each MU.

Existing and proposed control methods for pest plants & animals, and planting schedules are outlined for each MU.

A set of criteria has been developed and applied by a restoration working group of Nga Kaitiaki Hapori o Pourewa, to prioritise the order in which restoration is progressed in management units (MU) across the Pourewa Valley.

This will allow restoration work to be undertaken at a landscape scale, and in a coordinated way across the Pourewa Valley, with volunteer effort and eco contractor services complementing each other.

The Restoration Plan has been developed with funding from the Auckland Council Regional Environment and Natural Heritage Grant.
