Share your knowledge on the Ōtākaro Avon River corridor

Kat from Waimairi Beach

The Ōtākaro Avon River corridor is a special place for so many people.

For some, it was home. For others, it still is.

If you've lived there, or been a regular visitor, chances are you know things about the land that we don't.

Did you have a natural spring at the end of your garden? Were you forever digging up old pottery and bottles? Was your area a favourite nesting place for the local birdlife?

We want the local knowledge, wisdom, and experiences of the people and communities that love this land to help shape the regeneration plan.


Share your local knowledge and observations - you can either upload your research, videos, photos and drawings in the 'local knowledge' section, or drop a pin and comment on the map.


Feedback closes 18 March 2017.


Your local knowledge will be added to an online, publically accessible database of information on the land that will help inform regeneration planning for the Ōtākaro / Avon River Corridor.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
