Project Twin Steams is a project that is being done by Waitakere City which is located in West Auckland. The purpose of the project is to restore 56km of the stream by revegetating, cleaning it up and looking after it as it has been deteriating over the last few years.The project started in 2003 and it is a continous project. Waitakere City Council is closely working with the communities that surround the streams by educating them and getting them involved in things like planting days. Students from the West Auckland schools are also getting involved and many geography teachers are using it as a project base so students can learn about the importance of streams and how they play an important role in our environment.
Below is a link to the Project Twin Stream website where all the information is easily layed out.
