Native habitat restoration

Over its 20+ years, the Trust’s keen local volunteers have planted thousands upon thousands of native trees, shrubs and grasses in a wide range of habitats. Ranging from salt marsh to wetland to forest, enhancing existing ecosystems and, in some places, re-establishing them!

We work to enhance existing ecosystems and in some places re-establish them.

Weeding programmes target invasive species such as ginger, wattle, pampas grass, banana passionfruit, tobacco weed and Japanese honeysuckle. 

Current projects include the ongoing restoration of the Piproa Te Wahapu catchment wetlands in partnership with Living Waters Bay of Islands and ginger removal in the Kororāreka Reserve by the local community.
