Lower Styx River Restoration

This project is our first project in the Lower Styx. The project focuses on removing exotic weeds, controlling willow and underplanting with native eco-sourced plants along the riparian margins in Earlham Street. The Lower Styx River Restoration Project is funded by the Environment Canterbury Immediate Steps Fund.

As a result of this project by 2025,  we want to see:

• Native vegetation dominance across planted areas 
•  Increased bird, fish, invertebrate and lizard species counts/abundance 
•  Increased condition, extent, density and diversity of native vegetation within the site
•  Reduced and/or eliminated presence of targeted weed species 
•  Improved condition, extent and density of mahinga kai species at the project site
