HOW PEOPLE CAN HELP CARE FOR THEIR WATERWAYS
See here for ways you can help. These include:
At home or in the garden
Make sure your septic tank is in good working order so it can’t seep sewage into waterways
Don't pour pollutants or wash paint brushes into storm water drains
Wash your car on grass so pollutants don't go into storm water drains
Plant native trees and shrubs to help attract birds and trap run-off
Take rubbish, including green waste, to the landfill not your local reserve or waterway, and recycle wherever possible.
Join a local care group to help with a waterway restoration project near you.
Get involved in public consultation on council plan changes and budget decisions.
Out and about
Check, clean and dry your boating, tramping, fishing, bike or watersports gear between waterways to stop the spread of freshwater pests.
