Silverstream Reserve
Silverstream Reserve is located in a rural setting near the settlement of Clarkville, in the Waimakariri District, North Canterbury. It is four kilometres north from the boundary of Christchurch City and seven kilometres to the south-west of the township of Kaiapoi.
The 52-hectare reserve, spanning two sites, has been replanted with more than 50,000 native plants, along the stream and under larger trees.
The East End site is 28 hectares in size and contains a mixture of wetland and dry land plants. This site is home to the rare gratiola sextendata wetland plant, and Muehlenbeckia axillaris (creeping pōhuehue) which is host to the native boulder copper butterfly.

The West End site is 23 hectares in size and hosts a more mature mixture of wetland and dryland plants with majority of plantings being wetland plants that follow the stream.
Silverstream is known for fishing and is significant to local Maori for mahinga kai (food gathering and its associated cultural values).
An off-road car park is located on South Eyre Road, 1.5 kilometres from the Tram Road turn-off. This provides for easy access into Silverstream East Reserve.
