The Pest Free Waitākere Ranges Alliance is raising funds to protect the special species living in the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area. ALL funds will be used to resource and support the work being done by volunteers to restore habitats through the removal of pest animals and plants, work to improve water quality, installation of nesting boxes, riparian planting, ongoing monitoring, and more! Our goal is for the Waitākere Ranges to be restored and thriving. Thank you so much for your support of our work, which will be for the enjoyment of all.
