We eco-source, propagate and pot up tens of thousands of native plants every year to help restore the bush for our native birds, animals and plants, and remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Our vision is that everyone's food needs are met from local sources, and therefore to support and enable people to grow locally as well as sustainably.

Diverting organic waste from landfills. With help of keen composting tutors, we offer FREE composting courses around Auckland about worm farming, bokashi buckets & traditional composting bins. 

A place where Community Nursery people can share and exchange information about growing New Zealand native plants, seed sourcing, propagation tips, setting up infrastructure and general trouble shooting.

We have been active in this area for over 21 years, forming the heartbeat of our restoration activity. Activities range from planting, weeding, pest management and regular educational initiatives.

Since March 2019, we have been privileged to be a part of the Te Ara Awataha greenway. Our work has been based in leading regenerative activities in the Jessie Tonar Scout Reserve in Northcote, Auckland.

In partnership with EIA Ltd and four local schools, we're running Streamcare citizen science monitoring, with data being reported to NZ Water Citizens Database and NZ Freshwater Fish Database.

As a member of Upper Waitematā Ecology Network (UWEN), Kaipātiki Project has been active in this area for many years, including running a native plant nursery site at Hobsonville Point, pest monitoring and running restoration activity.

We partner with mana whenua and mataawaka Māori to understand how Mātauranga Māori can improve environmental outcomes. Regenerating areas of harakeke in the reserves we work in is a key aspect of our activities, helping to inspire and educate our community of volunteers to draw on both science and Mātauranga Māori in their stewardship of the environment.

A zero waste world is one where resources are valued and nothing is wasted. Changing the way we do things in our communities is a key part of this.

We are partnering with Auckland Council to divert thousands of tonnes of rukenga kai (food scraps) away from landfill.

We deliver sustainable living workshops, events and experiences open to everyone. As we prepare for the upcoming rebuild of the Kaipātiki Project EnviroHub, we find ourselves in an exciting space with the opportunity to reimagine and refocus our contribution to education for sustainability in Auckland’s north.

A fantastic annual festival filled with 90+ environmental events, activities and sustainable living actions. Something for everyone from outdoor events, upcycling, learning new skills, looking after our wellbeing and nature around us.

The aim of Network North is to build the capacity and impact of organisations doing environmental work in North Auckland.
