Hawke's Bay > Habitat Information

Hawkes Bay Fish and Game are always keen to help those who are interested in creating new wetlands or enhance existing ones. No matter whether you are seeking advice on dam construction, consent processes, planting, fencing or funding, we are always keen to offer our support and expertise. We see the creation of new and enhancement of old wetlands essential in the drive to strengthen waterfowl habitat and populations. History has seen the demise of much of this regions habitat, causing a subsequent decline in the regions waterfowl populations, so as part of our habitat programme and the drive to increase productive wetland habitat in the region, we offer our advice free of charge!

If you wish to take this opportunity further please give us a call on (06) 844 2460 or email us at hawkesbay@fishandgame.org.nz

The following links are to help you get the ball rolling, with information from dam creation to planting. Enjoy!
