Nature in the City Strategy – Hamilton City

 

Mangaiti Gully Restoration Trust's base camp. 

The draft has just been approved by the elected members of Hamilton City Council. It now becomes a strategy document. When the final document is available, we will post an update with a bit of the background that led up to this important strategy document that is going to underpin the restoration and protection of our indigenous and native biodiversity within our city. We would like to particularly thank Amanda Banks, Policy and Strategy Advisor, who pulled all the information and submissions together into the final document; councillor Sarah Thompson, mayor Paula Southgate for their understanding and enthusiasm for the importance of protecting and enhancing our biodiversity for our future generations and the environmental committee chaired by councillor Margaret Forsyth.   This link will take you to the Stuff website for an article summarising this occasion. https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/123574665/ten-per-cent-native-vegetation-target-set-for-city-nature-strategy
