Help nature thrive,
one donation at a time

Toutouwai | Robin

Every thriving forest, birdsong-filled reserve, and predator-free backyard begins with people who care...

Your donation helps Te Ara Hīkoi support community-led conservation across southern Auckland and northern Waikato. Together, we're empowering volunteers, strengthening local environmental groups, protecting native wildlife, and restoring the places we all love.

Whether it's a one-off gift or a monthly contribution, every donation helps create healthier ecosystems and stronger communities.

Why donate?

Your generosity helps us provide the practical support that enables local conservation to flourish.

Donations help us:

  • Support community-led predator control and pest plant programmes.

  • Equip volunteers with traps, bait stations, tools and resources.

  • Restore native habitats through planting and ecological restoration.

  • Deliver workshops, education and community events.

  • Grow the skills, knowledge and confidence of local environmental champions.

  • Coordinate and connect conservation efforts across our region.

Together, these actions create lasting benefits for both nature and the communities caring for it.
