A beautiful setting in a reserve that follows along a spring-fed stream environment. Silverstream Reserve is a recreation reserve managed by the Waimakariri District Council. 

What makes it rather unique is not just the setting and the special habitats found here but the community-led development of the reserve. 

This has been underway over the past ten years and has seen what was once a weed-infested undeveloped area into what is now a popular and attractive reserve of significant value.

Join us to look at this attractive reserve, the unique butterflies and plants, located on the banks of Silverstream and hear the story about this journey.
