Whether it is summer holidays spent at the family bach, exploring secluded islands by boat, or spotting rare and endangered birds while hiking through lush forest, there are many reasons for treasuring this wonderful region.
Our experiences may vary, but one common truth remains: the Coromandel is a place of unparalleled natural beauty, globally recognised as one of New Zealand’s biodiversity hotspots.
But the Coromandel we know, and love is under threat.
Established in 2017, the Predator Free Hauraki Coromandel Community Trust (PFHCCT) has an ambitious goal to scale and link conservation efforts across 286,000 ha from Te Aroha to Moehau. Its Field Support Team of three rangers provide vital practical on the ground support in all aspects of community conservation work to 60+ groups around the region.

LOSS:
• Schopenhauer once said that life was a series of losses. Like all philosophical claims, it is three quarters true. A good deal of western literature, starting with the story of Adam and Eve losing their Eden home, is replete with narratives that deal with the subject. Today there is talk of losing our own garden home – the planet. This series of 3 consecutive weekly talks will traverse the theme of loss—that “dark underpinning of our lives”—looking at everything from the loss of hopes and dreams, to the loss of love, innocence and life itself.
• Lecture 1. Loss of innocence, (coming of age): Wed 28 Aug 2024 (11am-1pm)
• Lecture 2: Loss of life, (death).: Wednesday 4 Sep 2024 (11am-1pm)
• Lecture 3: Loss of Possessions, (theft): Wednesday 11 Sep 2024 (11am-1pm)
