Our Projects
Planting
Over 27 000 of plants have been planted by volunteers. There are three main days for planting, usually in the winter months.
Only native species suitable for the environment are planted. The Hutt City Council funds these plants.
Please contact FoWS before planting any plants independently. We plant only local, eco-sourced native plants and we plan where these are best planted for the stream and surroundings.

Rubbish Collection
Rubbish in the stream has been steadily reducing. The 2019 law change around plastic shopping bags has made an impact. We are also hoping that the changes around domestic waste may also reduce wind-blown rubbish. Read the full report.
