The combined efforts multiple community groups with the support of DOC and councils to rid Franklin of rats, possums, mustelids and wild cats.

A group of people committed to protecting and restoring O'Connor's Bush, a portion of uncut lowland forest and a protected Historic Reserve in Greytown. We hold a monthly working bee, and carry out weed/pest control and planting. Greytown was the first place in New Zealand to celebrate Arbor Day in 1890, so this area is very important to protect and share sustainably.

Eco Action eco-source native plant seed from Travis Wetland. Eco-sourcing means plants are adapted to their local environment and are more likely to grow well. Plants grown provide year-round food and habitat for native birds and other fauna like insects, lizards and invertebrates.

A group of local people have developed a small area in the Blockhouse Bay Recreational Reserve as butterfly habitat, planting host and nectar plants for various species and retaining the trees in which monarch butterflies overwinter.

We are an enthusiastic, fun and friendly group who come together from all walks of life to work towards our common goal of reclaiming I'Anson Bush Reserve from the weeds that nearly swallowed it. We are winning the battle!

We are a community group with a focus on pest and weed control, stream and wetland restoration and revegetation of the forest in Te Aroha Valley and Hekerua Bay, Oneroa, Waiheke Island. We welcome assistance from volunteers and hold working bees on the third Sunday of every month.
