Working Bee at Cummings Park today – POSTPONED<\/strong><\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the weather – the call has been made to postpone this event to a later date when we can expect the weather to be better. Our apologies if this has affected your plans today! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When was the last time you heard the intricate melody of a t\u016b\u012b\u2019s song? What about the sharp shriek of a k\u0101k\u0101? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If recently, that means all is going according to plan. Wellington is one of the few cities in the world where native bird numbers are increasing, and this isn\u2019t by chance. For decades, local organisations have been hard at work enhancing the mouri or biodiversity lifeforce of Wellington and these efforts are clearly paying off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, Zealandia Te M\u0101ra a T\u0101ne has just entered the second generation of our 500-year plan \u2014 Living with Nature, Tiako Taiao, Tiaki Tangata. This next generation is focused on extending the biodiversity \u2018halo\u2019 from outside the large ecosanctuary fence and bringing people and nature together once again. We have a new name for this project \u2014 Kia Mouriora te Kaiwharawhara, otherwise known as Sanctuary to Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n

Founded in 2017, Kia Mouriora te Kaiwharawhara | Sanctuary to Sea is a collaborative project, led by Zealandia Te M\u0101ra a T\u0101ne in strategic partnership with mana whenua Taranaki Wh\u0101nui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika, Department of Conservation, Greater Wellington Regional Council, Wellington City Council, Victoria University of Wellington, Morphum Environmental Ltd., GHD, and CentrePort. Our 100-year vision is to heal the mouri\/lifeforce of the Kaiwharawhara water catchment. To do this, we approach our restoration work in three key interrelated parts aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of the Kaiwharawhara awa\/stream, ngahere\/forest, and t\u0101ngata\/people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A whaitua or water catchment is the area of land where all water naturally flows out at a common location. The large Kaiwharawhara catchment encompasses all the suburbs stretching from Zealandia Te M\u0101ra a T\u0101ne in Karori to Mt. Kaukau\/Tarik\u0101k\u0101 in Khandallah. The two main branches of the Kaiwharawhara stream \u2014 Te M\u0101hanga stream and Korimako stream merge together and flow out to Wellington Harbour via the Kaiwharawhara estuary. Ngaio and Crofton Downs are located at the heart of the Kaiwharawhara catchment. Therefore the ongoing success of this environmental work rests with you.<\/p>\n\n\n
