Aroha Kaikorai Valley - Where to start

The Kaikorai Catchment is a total 54 square kilometres. Our trapping project started with a defined area that has effectively been between Burnside and Lyn Street. The long-term view is to be supporting projects anywhere in the valley right down to the estuary and the coastline. 

Really, it's a question of where to start

The obvious starting point is the area each side of the stream and then working out and up the valley walls.

The map below shows a starting boundary but think of it as an indication of what the future might hold.

Imagine this:

1. The water in the stream as clean as it can be

2. Weeds removed and replaced with natives

3. Strategic planting of significant trees

4. A trap on every residential and commercial section

5. The valley filled with birdsong

The valley is nicely positioned to connect Glenleith, The Town Belt and Chain hills together as a a corridor for birds to move around the different areas of Dunedin.
