case study

Gisborne Airport partnering with Local Hapū
to Restore Stream Health and Create Educational Pathways for Sustainability

Wool.Life Products

Wool matting and Rolls where used for its moisture retention, weed suppression, and biodegradability. It was laid, then planted over.

Plants Used

The majority of plants used were nativespecies, including flax and native grasses.

Area Covered

Two areas across the airport which are: 1,000 + SQM

Project Location

Gisborne Airport

Aesthetically pleasing and functional planting

Murray noticed significant improvements in weed suppression since using Wool.Life products. Ngai Tāwhiri (hapÅ«) were particularly pleased with the natural product choice, and the airportā€™s landscape benefited from the aesthetically pleasing and functional planting. Overall, Murray and his team were very satisfied with the results and plan to continue using Wool.Life products in future projects, including a car park expansion near a wetland area.
Murray selected Wool.Life products due to their environmental benefits, ease of use, and the fact that they biodegrade over time, leaving no harmful residues. The team also appreciated Wool.Lifeā€™s responsiveness and knowledge. The team at the airport specifically selected plants that wouldnā€™t attract birdsā€”an important consideration for an airport, and a product that supported this was imperative.
