You are here:
Forest & Bird is active in the Wellington region through our Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Wellington Central, Kapiti-Mana and Wairarapa branches.
Our National Office is also based in Wellington – drop in and visit us sometime at 90 Ghuznee St.
We work on a range of projects in Wellington, including restoration of Matiu/Somes Island in Wellington Harbour, Pauatahanui wetlands and Pencarrow lakes. We welcome volunteers to work on these and many other reserves and projects in the region.
You can take part in the many trips taken by our Wellington tramping group – or just relax in our lodge on Matiu/Somes Island.
If you want to learn more about Wellington's natural environment, or help restore some of our treasured spots get involved in some of the projects below -
- Places for Penguins project aims to protect little blue penguins around Wellington’s coast, through planting, education and nest-box distribution.

- Our fast-growing Blue Wellington group meets on a monthly basis to discuss ideas, spearhead projects and inform people about the state of Wellington's coastal & marine environment, and beyond through ,movie screenings, talks and hands-on events.
