What a great way for you to make a positive impact on the environment, right when the planet really needs you! Volunteering at Clearwater Cove contributes to 5 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals:
Recognised by DOC as one of Auckland's most significant estuarial wetlands, Clearwater Cove Reserve and its adjacent wetlands are a high priority project. Our ongoing work in this area serves to strengthen this fragile ecosystem and support the rare and elusive native wildlife that call this reserve home: species such as the Moho Pererū/NZ Banded Rail and Tuturiwhatu/Banded Dotterel.
Coastal reserves play a critical role in nature, and have become disastrously rare worldwide! With its diverse coastal saline, wetland, and forest ecosystems, clearwater Cove provides crucial feeding and nesting grounds for coastal waders and marsh birds. Its rarity in Auckland's landscape makes its preservation all the more critical. Its strategic location fosters connectivity between fragmented natural environments within the upper and inner Waitematā Harbour, offering a vital refuge for biodiversity.

Regeneration of this unique space continues throughout the year, well beyond planting season. In fact, planting days are just the cherry on top, where regular regeneration days are the whole cake! Join us for "the whole cake" and see what it takes to keep our local ecosystems thriving:

These events are a great opportunity to connect with the community and with nature, while becoming a highly knowledgeable, seasoned-hand at native bush regeneration.
