Long-term regeneration

Together with our communites, we're regenerating forests, wetlands, waterways, and coastlines through practical action and long-term environmental care.

Long-term regeneration takes time

Regenerating our natural environment takes time, commitment and collaboration. By restoring native vegetation, reconnecting habitats and caring for the land over the long term, we can create resilient ecosystems that support thriving biodiversity.

Te Ara Hīkoi works alongside communities, iwi, landowners and partner organisations to support regeneration projects across southern Auckland and northern Waikato.

Restoring ecosystems from the ground up

Te Ara Hīkoi supports community-led habitat regeneration through:

  • Long-term biodiversity planning

  • Restoration project support

  • Monitoring and ecological reporting

  • Native nurseries, plantings and maintenance

Our stories

Our stories showcase what's possible when communities are supported to take action. Through predator control, habitat restoration, and collaboration, local efforts are creating measurable gains for native biodiversity across our rohe.
