Behind the transformation at Bullock Creek Hatchery Springs are ten years of people showing up. Getting stuck into planting, w**ding, watering and getting the job done, whatever the weather.

This carousel is a little look back at those efforts. The muddy boots, the working bees, the tiny plants and the many hands that have helped them grow.

As Friends of Bullock Creek Trust approaches its 10th birthday on 31 October, we’re celebrating our volunteers, past and present. Thank you for giving your time, energy and care to this special place.

Spot yourself or someone you know? We’d love to hear your memories.

My screen time is down. My stream time is up. 💧
Spring has sprung at Bullock Creek. Take a wander along the boardwalk, listen to the birds and see what you can spot in the water. It’s a little pocket of nature in the heart of Wanaka.

Native plants are naturally adapted to local conditions and provide food and shelter for native wildlife. Their roots also help stabilise stream banks, reduce erosion and filter runoff.

Every native planted at Bullock Creek contributes to a healthier and more resilient wetland ecosystem.

You can support this work by volunteering at one of our restoration sessions, making a donation, or simply helping care for Bullock Creek whenever you visit.

Plants growing alongside a creek form what is known as a riparian zone. Their roots hold soil in place, filter runoff and provide shade that helps keep the water cool.

Restoring vegetation along Bullock Creek supports better water quality and creates valuable habitat both in and around the stream.

You can support this work by volunteering at one of our restoration sessions, making a donation, or simply helping care for Bullock Creek whenever you visit.

A small box making a big difference! ⚡

At long last, we have power on site, meaning we can charge our tool batteries and boil the jug for a well-earned cuppa.

We’re incredibly grateful to Te Rūnanga o Moeraki for kindly allowing us to connect to the cottage power supply. This will make life much easier for our volunteers and contractors as they continue their mahi restoring Bullock Creek.

Water entering roadside gutters and stormwater drains often flows directly into local creeks without being treated.

Soap, paint, oil, garden chemicals and litter washed into these drains can eventually reach Bullock Creek. Keeping pollutants away from outdoor drains is one simple way every household can help protect our waterways.
