Mike is also interested in stream cleanup; he helped start an adopt a spot on Rivera Drive in Flat Bush. Mike also does his part to be present and encourage the planting of native trees and native bush in our communities.​

Preventing Building Site Runoff from Polluting our Waterways​​​

Our community has a serious issue with messy building sites polluting our waterways. Builders do not always understand what is required to keep silt and building site run-off from making its way into our streams and rivers. One of the first things I did after being elected, was I began attending The Ōtara Lake and Waterways Trust's meetings.
