2020 was a year of planning. In that time the wetland project has grown in size and some fundraising has taken place to buy plants for the site.
The plants we planted last year have continued to grow, though a couple haven't survived. Some of the flax even flowered after one year in the ground.
An EDNA sample was taken from water in the Mangaotuku Stream and the results show a range of species in the stream. You can see the results here. https://shaunwilkinson.shinyapps.io/tekoiora/_w_e7f943fd/reports2/501427.html
Our 2019 plantings have survived and we still get a lot of water when it rains.
