Protecting our native plants, animals and wild places, on land and in our oceans. Help us to help nature.
You are here:
Auckland is New Zealand’s largest urban area – but it is also home to some of our most spectacular scenery, our most interesting native habitats, and our most endangered plants and animals.
Forest & Bird has nine branches in the Auckland region that work on a range of restoration projects, and you are welcome to join in. Our Auckland branches are working together on Auckland Naturally, a project linking these projects and the main “reservoirs” of bird habitat – the Waitakere and Hunua Ranges and Hauraki Gulf islands.
Ark in the Park, a partnership between Forest & Bird and Auckland Regional Council in the Waitakere Ranges, is one of our biggest restoration projects, with pest control allowing the reintroduction of hihi, robins, whitehead and kokako into the Ark.
You can also stay at our lodges on Auckland’s beautiful west coast and on Waiheke Island.
