Suitable species for planting
(write general intention here, specific species go into table below – look at what is growing, and
in what proportions, in nearby natural areas for ideas, check Waikato Regional Council’s Wetland
Management Factsheets or web page: www.waikatoregion.govt.nz)
Standing water:
Wetter margin sites:
Drier sites, e.g. wetland edge, bunds, adjacent pasture:

Plant numbers and plant spacings (Measure or pace out the area to be planted and divide by
the spacing between each plant twice to determine plant numbers required, e.g. the planting
area measures 20m x 20m and the recommended plant distance between plants = 2m..
Calculation: 20 x 20 = 400sqm. 400 divided by 2, divided by 2 again = 100 plants required to fill
the area. For natives on pasture, no greater than 2m between plants is recommended; 1m
between sedges on the wetland margin.)

Funding source (self-funded, specific grant application, etc)
LEGAL/SOCIAL ISSUESConsent requirements (Creation of open water will generally require earthworks consents. Check with Waikato Regional Council and your local council if any other consents will be required in connection with blocking drains, diverting water and use of herbicide. You also need permits to release live fish into a waterway from the Department of Conservation, Fish & Game Council, and/or the Ministry for Primary Industries – Fisheries).
Neighbour issues (potential effects on neighbouring or upstream/downstream properties, e.g.
flooding, de-watering)
Safety (drowning risk, etc)
![Page 17: OUR WETLAND RESTORATION PLAN - Waikato · 4 General description (main wetland type, etc.) Topography (lie of the land) and soils Current Vegetation (e.g. main plant types, photos](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081404/5f03eabe7e708231d40b6817/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

MONITORING/MEASURE YOUR SUCCESS
Monitoring methods (indicate using techniques below or alternative techniques)
Photopoints (photographs taken from selected points at regular dates; embed posts to rest the
camera to help take the same view each time)
Plant survival (number of plants per species that died; this will help you decide which species
are more suitable for your site)
Regeneration (e.g. note flowering, fruiting, self-seeded native plants)
Other (specify)
