| What
is Project Twin Streams?
Project
Twin Streams (PTS)
is an exciting programme
for Waitakere communities
to restore and reclaim
the city's streams as
the heart of their neighbourhoods.
The project aims to improve
the wellbeing of the city,
through restoring natural
systems for managing stormwater
by replanting streambanks. |

Waitakere City Council
has contracted EcoMatters,
in partnership with Glen
Eden Primary School, to
deliver PTS in the Glen

sub-catchment and includes
the Whakarina, Bishop
and Waikumete Streams.
PTS Glen Eden stretches
from the headwaters in
Titirangi, down through
Kaurilands, Konini, Glen
Eden and Parr's Park. |

- Adopt
a stream: get
together with friends
and neighbours to
adopt an area of the
stream to care for.
We will help you to
clean-up and restore
the area. You can
then watch with pride
as your 'patch' becomes
a wonderland for plants,
birds and an amazing
array of stream life.
|
- Ask
your child about Project
Twin Streams:
schools in our area
are getting involved
and kids are discovering
how to care for their
local environment
through learning about
streams. You can support
your child and local
school by attending
a school planting
day or event.
