Restore Rodney East is a group dedicated to supporting a vibrant network of environmental organisations across the eastern rural and coastal areas of Rodney (about one hour north of Auckland), from Puhoi in the south to Te Arai in the north. Together, we’re fostering lasting, positive change for our local ecosystems.
Why Restore Rodney East?
Since the early 2000s, there has been a growing national awareness of the impacts of invasive species and human development on our precious and unique ecosystems of Aotearoa New Zealand. Local groups and organisations across Rodney East have worked for many years to protect and enhance the natural environment and the many unique ecosystems our community values.
Currently, there are more than forty Rodney East initiatives ranging from large landscape-scale programmes with fully formed governance and funding models, right down to individuals conducting heroic solo efforts to improve those ecosystems. An identified challenge is to ensure this effort and good work can be sustained and grown, and potential gaps and overlaps within and between activities are minimised. More than ever, we must acknowledge, nurture and nourish current and historic work undertaken across Rodney East to improve environmental outcomes.
MAP UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Restore Rodney East supports community groups in the area outlined in yellow.
We are working on putting the local ecology and conservation groups and projects on the map. The map is not precise, but more to give a general idea of what groups are in the area. Red outlines are for trappers, blue for groups focused on water quality, green for planting/weeding, and orange for mixed groups.
