Help preserve the Hauraki Coromandel for future generations

The Team from Momentum Waikato

The Hauraki Coromandel holds a special place in the hearts and minds of many.

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.

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!
