Long-term solutions to consider in Conservation Week
It is Conservation Week, that time each year when we are all asked to reflect on what needs to happen for our native species and biodiversity to survive and flourish.
Momentum Waikato exists to provide long-term financial resourcing solutions for people tackling social and environmental challenges. For conservation, we so far have three endowment funds that each use their investment income to provide grants and other support for local conservation efforts.
All three offer the opportunity to donate towards growing sustainable support systems for the genuine long-term solutions to the conservation challenges across the wider Waikato region.
The Fund for Nature Hauraki-Coromandel, set up by the Predator Free Hauraki Coromandel Community Trust, supports this umbrella group for the two districts’ 100+ conservation groups. See momentumwaikato.nz...
The Waikato Catchment Ecological Enhancement Fund, set up the Waikato Catchment Ecological Enhancement Trust, supports the Trust's grants to conservation work up and down the length of the awa. See momentumwaikato.nz...
The Waikato Hauraki Conservation Fund, set up by Selwyn and Dianne June, is a ‘gap filler’ funder for those things that volunteers need that are not usually covered by other funders. See momentumwaikato.nz...
You can find out more and donate by clicking the links above, or the one below that take you to our communities' funds index page, where you can select the funds you're interested in supporting.
Thanks!

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!
