Here are a few suggestions to help. We can all make a difference to waterways.
Every year, Keep New Zealand Beautiful mobilises over 70,000 volunteers - cleaning up beaches, picking up litter, removing graffiti, planting trees and lots more. They also work in schools teaching our kids to be tidy Kiwis and helping to protect our beautiful country for future generations. Almost all their work
is done by volunteers, so why not join them and keep our country (and waterways) beautiful?
NZ Landcare Trust
NZ Landcare Trust partners with farmers, stakeholders, community catchment and landcare groups to make a tangible difference to New Zealand's waterways and landscapes. They're here to help preserve and protect our land, rivers, streams and tributaries for future generations. They run various workshops and events around the country – follow their Facebook page for more details.
