The Waimoku Wetland KNE is located on privately owned land on Shearer Drive in Oakura. The site is in the Egmont Ecological District and located within the Waimoku stream catchment.
The KNE area is made up of a regenerating wetland area with the Waimoku stream running along the western edge. Little original vegetation remains but the wetland has been planted in native species and is regenerating. The wetland contains a considerable number of pest plant species which will require significant effort to bring under control. The site lies in close proximity to other Key Native Ecosystems in the area, including Matekai Park and Mckie QEII Covenant. Ecological features Flora The wetland is dominated by planted flax (Phormium tenax) and cabbage trees (Cordyline australis) with natural regeneration of cutty grass (Carex
(Entelea arborescens). The flora of the site will continue to regenerate into a more natural state if pest plant issues can be managed.
Native birdlife recorded in and around the KNE include tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae), grey warbler (Gerygone igata), fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa) and sacred kingfisher (Todiramphus sanctus vagans).
