Continuing our stream awareness theme, this week a trio of residents conducted their own stream life survey of the little stream near the Hungerford Road playground both before and after it enters the pipe beneath the landfill. They used a Wilderlab<\/a> eDNA mini kit to take samples of the water in the stream near the bridge over the side stream and from the pipe 6m below the field. The kit collects genetic material shed by organisms through the loss of skin, hair, scales, fluids and faeces. While we are sure there is life in the clean water, we want to know if anything is surviving in our buried stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Meeting for Hungerford Rd Maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is a meeting tonight (Thursday 30 July) at 7 pm at the Houghton Valley School Hall put on by Wellington City Council and Fulton Hogan to discuss the major maintenance and resurfacing of Hungerford Road this coming paving season, and the impact this will have on residents and through traffic. The most local residents were advised in a mail drop, but others are welcome to come and see what is proposed. There are various options, and they would like to explain the reasons for the work and the various constraints of the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Saturday August 1 at 10.30 am at the Houghton Valley Community Hall, next to the Playcentre. A warm welcome to new residents as well as the regulars. Andrew is hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
