HSC commissioned Wildland Consultants to develop a landform-based planting plan for the Hakataramea catchment. The plan identifies indigenous plant species suitable to be planted on different landforms within the catchment. This information was sought to better inform planting projects and to guide plant selection in the Community Native Nursery for supplying the catchment and similar areas in the region.
The development of the plan involved a visit to the catchment to study the landforms and vegetation and a thorough review of information available to compile the comprehensive report.

The plan identified nine landforms and habitats within the catchment, click on arrows next to each landform name below to expand for more information.

HSC would like to thank Kelvin Lloyd and the Wildlands Consulting team for the preparation of this report.
