Lyford Reserve Stream Care for Flood Readiness

Lyford Reserve is an oasis for native birds in the heart of Sunnynook. Join a community of locals who are restoring this reserve to keep our streams safe, healthy, and flood ready!

Heavy rain can cause streams to overflow, leading to flooding. To be prepared for potential flooding events, we will:

• Clear fallen trees, debris and rubbish.
• Remove invasive plants that hinder the natural ecosystem.

By removing rubbish and the critical debris obstructing stream flow, we ensure water flows freely, reducing the risk of blockages and flooding.

All tools and training provided.

With thanks to Devonport-Takapuna Local Board and Auckland Council's Healthy Waters.
