Athenree wetland
The breach of a stop-bank along the Waiau River by Department of Conservation (DOC) staff yesterday, was the first step in fulfilling the dying wishes of the late Maurice (Snow) Garde-Browne who wanted part of his Athenree farm restored to wetland.
See the attached media release for more information, please contact me if you require captions for any of the photo's.
The three men in the photos are assessing the stop bank breach following the first high tide and assessing the paddock to be flooded are: Daniel Rapson (DOC), Daryl Hall (Environment BOP) and Braden Rowson (Environment BOP).
