Conservation Volunteer Bookings

Waharau Regional Park is the eastern gateway into the Hunua Ranges. The manuka cover of the lower slopes is home to a variety of diverse plant species, from club mosses, filmy ferns, ground orchids and liverworts, to coral lichens that give bushes a magical 'goblin-like' appearance. Birdlife varies from the shore birds, such as Oyster Catchers and Spotted Shags, at the stream mouth to the forest birds, including Tui and Wood Pigeon, of the higher slopes. Volunteers will be assisting with tree planting.

This week Conservation Volunteers will visit Waitawa Regional Park, one of Auckland's Southern Parks where we will be carrying out a range of vital conservation activities.

Each of the Southern Parks of Auckland are varied and unique. Waitawa Regional Park is one of Auckland Councils most recent acquisitions and is being transformed into a recreational park with large areas of land being returned to native bush.  Waitawa is located on the shores of the Hauraki Gulf and enjoys views out to Waiheke Island and beyond to Coromandel.

Activities we are likely to be helping out with here are planting, weed control, track construction and maintenance, beach clean ups, tidying amenity gardens and mulching.
