Environmental Community Groups
Northern Rata
Wellington's environmental community groups play an active and important role in protecting Wellington's environment.
Their activities include:
- planting and restoration programmes
- possum control programmes
- public education
- fundraising to enhance reserves
This voluntary action is a huge contribution to biodiversity management. The Council supports biodiversity volunteers through environmental grants where people can apply for funding for environmental projects, large and small.
Council Support
The Council also supports volunteers through the community greening programme where advice and support is provided to people who want to look after their local environment. Free native eco-sourced plants are also supplied for planting on public land.
A number of volunteers are currently involved in environmental projects within Council parks and reserves. Interested people can either join one of the existing groups, or contact the Community Biodiversity Coordinator to discuss starting up a new group.
