Workshops fronted by a USA expert will be held in Northland this week showing conservation organisations, dairy farmers and other landowners how to restore or create wetlands.
Tom Biebighauser has restored over 1600 wetlands in North America and Asia and has developed successful, inexpensive techniques for restoring wetlands on steep sites, formerly mined land, ridges, valleys, forests and small properties, including schools.
Northland Fish and Game is hosting the Northland Wetland Restoration Workshop in conjunction with Department of Conservation (DoC) and Fonterra Living Water programme today and tomorrow. As part of World Wetlands Day, Fish and Game is holding a second event on February 12-13.
