the plants are adapted to
the conditions and therefore grow well, as
well as restoring natural habitat.
A diagram of a riparian margin and the
various zones is shown in the Taranaki
Regional Council’s information sheet Why
manage stream banks? The importance of
riparian management.
In the zone next to the water’s edge (Zone

points at the base (flax, toetoe, carex) are
best as they can cope with flooding. The
leaves bend with the flow of

and is within the Rotokare Reserve Trust 'halo' management area.
Ecological Features
Flora
The high canopy at Campbell’s Bush is dominated by pukatea, tawa and swamp maire with occasional
rewarewa and titoki. The understory is recovering well including species such as kawakawa,
some guidance for teachers planning within the science, social sciences and technology curricula.
