Awaawaroa Wetland Reserve - Waiheke Island
Waiheke Island, August 25th
The Awaawaroa Stream and Wetland Reserve traverse the mid-eastern end of Waiheke Island in a roughly north-south line. They are home to a number of classified threatened species including tuna, giant kokopu, inanga, banded rail and spotless crake. A partnership group of community members, CVNZ, Forest & Bird, Council Biodiversity team and Local Parks staff have identified the Awaawaroa Wetland Reserve as a priority location for stream restoration on Waiheke Island and regionally.
With the help of community planting days, the wetland will have a restored native plant riparian buffer which provides a suitable habitat for native fish and bird species. In addition, wetland sedimentation will be reduced, and the water quality of the reserve will be improved. We’d love for you to come along for one or more days and help make a difference!

The Park is steeped in history and is host to 17 historic locations; including the extensive ridge pa (Maori fort) which was considered a strategic and vantage location for local tangata whenua (the Maori tribe) when engaging in warfare with invading enemies. There is also an abandoned 19th century oyster farm and numerous other early-settler European locations to explore.
Three nationally threatened bird species the NZ dabchick and brown teal live at the park and the area also has intact areas of coastal forest which are now rare nationally.
The day will involve planting native trees and shrubs followed by a BBQ. It promises to be a fun day and a great opportunity to see this stunning park and give back to your local environment!

It is also the site of Auckland City's only natural waterfall!
