Manawa Karioi Ecological Restoration Project is one of Wellington's oldest reforestation projects and is on land that is part of Tapu Te Ranga Marae in Island Bay.

It's time to talk strategy, celebrate our achievements, and look ahead to the next phase of our work.

We warmly invite all members and interested community members to attend our Annual General Meeting (AGM). This is your chance to hear detailed reports on our conservation efforts, financials, and future plans, as well as to elect the committee for the coming year.
