About & Description

A community conservation project. Bring your whanau, neighbours & friends as we restore the natural waterways of our beautiful Island!

Love our Wetlands - Waiheke A COMMUNITY CONSERVATION PROJECT Rangihoua Wetland is an ecologically important wetland site, as are all wetlands around New Zealand and the world. Wetlands are the kidneys of our oceans, filtering water as it flows through and out to the ocean. Wetlands trap carbon, provide habitat for animals, birds and fish. Wetlands improve water quality & reduce flooding effects & in New Zealand only 10% of wetlands remain. Being an island community we are more connected to the ocean and waterways that surround us. So join us, bring your whanau, neighbours & friends as we restore the natural waterways of our beautiful Island! So far the Waiheke Community and groups of volunteers have planted 6333 locally eco sourced Native trees around the waterways of the Rangihoua wetland, Te Motu Wetlands and Matiatia Headland. All ecologically important wetland sites and habitat and breeding ground to many native threatened bird & fish species including wetland Bird, the Banded Rail. If you would like to get involved, be a part of our 2017 season let us know! For more info email [email protected], visit wrt.org.nz or call 372 2915

Company Overview

About the Waiheke Resources Trust The WRT is all about creating a great place to live. We do lots of different things to reach that goal including education, programmes, and events and there are lots of different issues that we think are important: water, waste, food resilience, biodiversity, energy and transport. The concept that underpins our work is the importance of a healthy and thriving environment. Such an environment allows a community to flourish, and within that community a strong economy can exist. We work to celebrate and protect all the resources we have already, and build capacity and knowledge in the community toward the creation of a resource-full future for all.
