The group was set up as a result of local concerns about the effect changing and intensive
land use was having on the catchment and on Waituna Lagoon.
Waituna Lagoon forms part of an International Wetland Reserve.
In a nutshell, the Landcare group's aim is one of preservation, restoration and
guardianship.
With a grant from World Wildlife Fund, the Landcare group is going to establish
a native plant nursery to make plants available to landowners on the catchment
for riparian plantings. Waituna Lagoon is situated on the south coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It is 30 minutes drive from Invercargill and about 2 1/2 hours drive from Dunedin. The lagoon is 10mins drive off the Southern Scenic Route from Mokotua (on an unsealed metal/gravel road).
