Here's a bright spark of an idea

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

An Eyrewell irrigation lake has been transformed into an attractive recreational resort with riparian planting increasing biodiversity and providing habitat for native birds.

Geoff and Rochelle Spark started work on the dam in 2010 and while the main purpose of the lake was irrigation, recreation also played an important role in the design process.

Witnessing a wide range of birds return to the area, along with the surprise growth of bulrushes and grasses along the lake edge has been another positive.

Spark and his family spend much of their free time over the summer months at the lake and enjoy entertaining friends at the picturesque spot. They've also hosted the NZ under 21 kayaking team for practice sessions and will host the Oxman half ironman in December.
