Wetlands throughout the country will benefit from the
Government’s One Billion Trees Programme which will be
sued to create habitat for wildlife and help offset carbon
emissions.
The NZ Game Bird Habitat Trust (GBHT) has
been granted $360,000 over three years to establish
plantings on projects the trust supports around New
Zealand.
GBHT chair Andy Tannock says this is a
significant boost for wetland habitat projects and
complements the trust’s goals . People are becoming
increasingly aware of the benefits wetlands provide through
habitat for wildlife, water-quality management, flood
mitigation, aesthetics and recreational harvest
opportunity, he says.
