Organizer of Okura Forest Festival
How we choose to live directly impacts our environment. After decades of watching the degradation of wildlife, ecosystems and water quality we are taking responsibility and making a difference!
We have embarked on a massive project to restore the biodiversity of the Okura Bush and adjoining Marine Reserve.
Kauri dieback, invasive weeds and pest animals threaten this incredible area. Our mission is to engage and educate the community, carry out planting, control pest animals and eradicate invasive weeds so we can restore the precious ecosystem. Department of Conservation, Auckland Council and the community - all working together - are critical to the success of our project.
Help us and be part of the Environmental Revolution!
