Our ecosystems are under pressure – from degraded waterways to vanishing native bush and marine habitats on the brink.
We believe in regeneration, not just conservation. Through education, planting, predator control, citizen science and partnerships with mana whenua, we’re supporting the return of healthy, resilient ecosystems across our region. Because when our biodiversity thrives, so do we.
We’re helping Hawke’s Bay shift from a throwaway culture to a circular one – where resources are valued, waste is minimised, and people are supported to make better choices.
From waste audits to composting workshops, soft plastic recycling to waste-free events, our programmes show what’s possible when we think differently about what we use and what we discard. Waste isn’t just a problem – it’s an opportunity to do better.
Whether it’s climate change, cost of living, or natural disasters – resilience matters. We’re working to strengthen local food systems, build practical knowledge, and empower communities to respond to the challenges ahead.
That means everything from hosting sustainability workshops and community gardens, to supporting neighbourhood connections and shared resources. Resilience starts at home, and grows outwards.
