WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP
Do not drain damp areas such as swamps and wetlands. Fence and
plant such areas to establish new swamp maire populations.
Plant eco-sourced material to preserve our local form.
Fence off areas of scrub and forest
life can be killed, habitats
destroyed and the stream can take many years to
recover.
You may think that your little bit of waste can’t harm
the environment but there are other people in the
region carrying out activities similar to yours. Your
waste when combined with that of others can amount
to a significant amount of pollution occurring every day
of the year. The cumulative effects of combined
discharges can cause serious damage to our
environment and must be prevented.
It is
noticed a change in the wording
of our slogan in recent times. We believe the
new one "Working with people, caring for
Taranaki" better reflects the functions of the
Council. Besides developing, monitoring and
enforcing regional rules around the use of
core resources, an important part of our work
involves getting alongside landowners,
industry, community groups and individuals
to take practical actions to protect and
improve the environment. The Council also
