We provide an opportunity for members to get involved in the practical aspects of conservation; such as growing plants and cleaning beaches.
We also participate in City events when appropriate. We organise recreational walks, film shows and host speakers. We write submissions to the City and Regional Councils and organise restoration programmes.
The Wellington branch is active on a broad front, working to protect, conserve and replenish our natural environment and keep members informed with regular newsletters, Facebook and googlegroups.
Blue Wellington
Blue Wellington is a forum that meets bimonthly to encourage the sharing of ideas to improve our coastal and marine environment. Meetings are held the first Wednesday on alternate months where issues can be discussed in a social setting.
Green Forum
The Green Forum is a regular monthly meeting place for people to discuss and collaborate on matters that promote a "green" Wellington city. One of its key objectives is provision in the District Plan of permanent eco-corridors to support self-sustaining ecosystems and secure the long term viability of our local fauna and flora.
Native Plant Restoration
The Branch Nursery began life supplying plants to Karori Sanctuary and continues to donate around 3.000 plants annually to that project. Plants are also supplied to community groups for re-vegetation programs. Our volunteers propagate plants from seed and cuttings sourced from around the Wellington region.
Tramping and Walking
Our two Regional walking groups cater to different needs. They both have regular excursions that explore the diverse environment in our neighbourhood. All are welcome.
