These events are a great opportunity to connect with nature, enhance our native biodiversity, off-set carbon emissions and meet new people in your community.

The South Wairarapa Biodiversity Group was formed in 2011 with the goal of enhancing local biodiversity. Since then our group has planted thousands of trees, hosted visits to local biodiversity hot spots and undertaken regular monitoring of water quality, fish and bird species at Ōkorewa Lagoon.
