Information report.Topic: Healthy Streams
Introduction:
‘Homai te waiora ki ahau’.This Maori proverb says ‘Give me the water of life’. Rivers are the lifeblood of our land farms, and homes. New Zealand is known for our clean green image but 80% of our rivers are not living up to our name. As a class, we are going to test the health of a local stream and see if in Ōtaki we are looking after the lifeblood of our community.
