Witheford Reserve Regeneration with Kaipātiki Project

Witheford Reserve is a unique space which hosts an impressive diversity of ecosystems and native plant and animal species. We need your help to regenerate and protect parts of this amazing reserve.

Led by an expert ecologist on the first Tuesday of each month, Kaipātiki Project leads a trusty group of local volunteers to regenerate this special reserve and positively impact the environment. It's a great opportunity to:
- Learn about our unique native ecosystems
- Connect with like-minded individuals
- Connect with nature
- Spend some healthy time moving your body outdoors
- Give back to nature

Witheford Scenic Reserve includes lowland forest, a Waitematā sandstone stream, tidal saltmarsh and coastal cliffs. In some parts of the reserve there are remnant native trees (kahikatia, totara and kowhai) that survived early clearing and milling during European settlement. Along the coastal edge of this and adjoining reserves is Kaipatiki Creek, turangawaewae (home habitat) to endangered native fish, tuna (eels),
koura (freshwater crayfish) and shore birds, such as moho pereru (banded rail).
