Project River Recovery
The restoration of the braided rivers of the Mackenzie Country began in 1991. Project River Recovery was set up by the Department of Conservation and ECNZ after consultation with the Waitaki Water Rights Working Group, of which Forest and Bird was a member. The compensato-ry-funding agreement between ECNZ (now Meridian Energy) and DoC will continue until 2024. It aims to work with Meridian Energy to create or enhance areas of river and wetland habitat similar to those lost through hydro development in the braided rivers of the Upper Waitaki.
