Find projects

We are a community group based on the bushy suburb of Maungaraki on the western hills of the Hutt Valley. We enjoy a variety of native wildlife including Korimako (Bellbird), Kererū, Tui, Rūrū and the much more elusive Ngāhere Gecko and Riroriro (Grey Warbler).

Lets make Muriwai Pest free

We are aiming to eradicate introduced pests, such as rats and mice, through our backyard trapping project. This would mean more native birds (Piwakawaka/fantails, Korimako/Bellbirds, RuRu, Tui, Kereru) and insects (Weta and Butterflies). How can you help?
