If interested in one of these packages or if you've got another project you'd like us to consider please contact our Community Coordinator, Terra Dumont, at terra@thestyx.nz or 022-065-5624. Terra also works with local landowners and businesses along the Pūharakekenui, Ka Pūtahi Creek, and Smacks Creek to restore their waterway margins with native plantings.
