New Fund for Nature backs Hauraki-Coromandel Conservation

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Preserving and enhancing biodiversity and conservation lands across Hauraki and Coromandel is a long-term project requiring vision, perseverance, and resilient funding.

The Predator Free Hauraki Coromandel Community Trust supports 100+ conservation and backyard-trapping groups. Current projects include kiwi protection, trap-building, bringing national experts in for training workshops, and a field support team helping the local groups with track cutting and, currently, storm recovery.

The newly established Fund for Nature – Hauraki Coromandel has been established by the Trust with Momentum Waikato to provide sustainable and secure funding for this critical work into the future.

“Our partnership with Momentum Waikato is about providing a way for people everywhere to leave a legacy that supports the conservation work of Hauraki and Coromandel communities,” says the Trust's CE Jude Hooson.

“There are a lot of people who have been committed to conservation here for decades, and there are some leading conservation experts living locally, and they’re all concerned about who is going to continue to do the mahi.

“So, we’re not thinking small, we want to build a significant Fund for Nature,” says Jude.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
