Lots of people of all ages, backgrounds and with varying skills have volunteered to help with environmental projects in our region. These fantastic people all have something in common - they care about their local environment and want to see it healthy and in good condition!
Greater Wellington has a partnership with over thirty community environmental groups. Explore this website to learn about the group nearest you! Find out what the groups do, and some background on each project. We have even included links to some of the groups websites.
Take Care groups form when a group of people want to work together to help the environment. Greater Wellington staff in the Environment Management, Catchment Management, and Finance & Administration divisions work with Take Care groups to look after beaches, sand dunes, estuaries, wetlands, streams and rivers all over the Wellington region.
Volunteers also do a huge amount of work in many of the regional parks. Greater Wellingtons Water Supply, Parks & Forests staff work with volunteers on sand dunes, wetlands and streams in the regional parks, and on a few of the major rivers around the Greater Wellington region. |
