A fantastic annual festival filled with environmental events, activities and sustainable living actions. Taking place across North Auckland, EcoFest North has been successfully running since 2013. At the same time, EcoMatters is hosting EcoFest West, and together we are creating Auckland's biggest environmental festival, #EcoFest 2020!

To inspire and empower people to share in nature’s revival and live lightly on this planet, we are spreading this message beyond our back yard and our community’s backyards. Through education, hands-on involvement and experiential activities, together we can affect behaviour change in our daily lives.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
