Community group

Wildlands specialises in ecological restoration and indigenous biodiversity. We prepare restoration plans, provide policy and management advice in a wide range of ecological disciplines, and also supervise and implement hands on restoration projects.

The objectives of the group are to help local people work together in planning and implementing sustainable management and protection of the Whangateau Harbour, its resources and catchment area. We meet each other month at 7.15pm on the first Tuesday in the Whangateau Hall, Leigh Rd, Whangateau.

This group, composed mainly of farmers, meets about two or three times a year to have a workshop or field day to increase their learning and experiences. Recent workshops have included an evening on possum control and the Auckland Regional Council’s Proposed Air, Land and Water Plan.
