A Strong Planting Season & Growing Nursery Stock

This year’s planting season has been a big success, with 1,411 native plants going into the ground — exceeding our goal of 1,000. These efforts play a vital role in strengthening the health of the Bullock Creek ecosystem, improving water quality, and creating habitat for local wildlife.

Looking ahead, we have 600+ plants thriving in the nursery, which will be held over the summer months and planted out in 2026. Our thanks go to Richard from the Corrections team, who has been diligently pricking out Carex secta seedlings and potting them on, helping boost our future stocks.

We’ve also supplied seed to the Otago Corrections Facility to keep a strong pipeline of native seedlings coming for next year’s restoration work.

A big thank you to everyone involved in supporting the ongoing health and resilience of the creek.
