Port Hills seed drop
Heads up to those living on the Port Hills, a helicopter will drop seed on pockets of privately owned land this afternoon (Friday).
Seed will be dropped on about 60 hectares of private land around Cashmere Valley, Worsleys Spur, Hoon Hay Valley and Early Valley Road, as part of an approach coordinated by the Council to reduce sediment issues in streams.
The seed is being dropped on areas where there has been limited natural regrowth.
Two seed mixes are being used: one which is for land that will be used primarily for pasture and another mix that allows native plants to grow.
Reseeding areas has been identified as one of the first steps to reduce the likelihood of ash and sediment entering waterways if there was significant rain.
