Our 240 member branch works on a range of restoration projects that are greening the Far North. Planting, bird-translocation, weed clearance, pest-busting and nursery management are just some of the activities that keep our members busy.
We also manage two local reserves : Matthews and Arethusa which includes a 6 bunk lodge: Arethusa Lodge.
Trips and Events
We host occasional local trips to natural wonders, as well as talks by field experts and conservation professionals.

Up Close: We Love Marine Reserves
The tropical currents lapping the Far-North means that our seas are home to a colourful-array of species. Explorer and ecologist, Jacques Cousteau described the marine-life as one of the best temperate diving spots in the world. We hope to keep our seas fish-rich by supporting local marine reserves.
Get involved
In association with other local conservation groups, we run a number of projects to restore the natural habitat of the forestland in the Far North.
One of our major projects is to restore one of NZ’s most biologically rich forestlands: Puketi forest.
