About Us
One of the largest branches (by members) in the country, North Shore branch covers roughly the area of the old North Shore City.
We hold a public meeting on the first Monday evening of each month to which all are welcome. A programme of field trips is also offered. Photo:Phillip Moll
Tuff Crater Restoration

Our main project is the restoration of Tuff Crater Reserve - Te Kopua o Matakamokamo.
Tuff Crater is one of Aucklands 50 volcanoes - this one last erupted about 200,000 years ago. The tidal estuary is surrounded by a reserve which the branch is slowly transforming.
Get involved
There are numerous opportunities to volunteer and get involved in projects on the North Shore. We are always looking for help with our restoration projects, trips co-ordination, fundraising, RMA work etc
North Shore Issues
_170(1).jpg)
Despite being largely urban, the issues facing North Shore City will be common to many other branches. Our reserves are being overrun by invasive weeds. Water quality in our streams and at our beaches is an issue. Habitat is being lost as scrub gives way to concrete in one of the fastest growing cities in NZ. The abolition of tree protection has serious implications for native trees and bush. Photo:Phillip Moll
