The HealthPost Nature Trust is looking for keen volunteers to support with native tree and wetland plantings so flora and fauna can flourish at Onetahua Farewell Spit and Wharariki.

Meet local volunteer, Chris Stephens: first flight.

“I care about conservation, giving back to our environment and believe in the HealthPost Nature Trust vision to restore biodiversity in the local area – especially the work they’re doing to re-establish breeding colonies for seabirds on the coast. Sadly, many seabirds aren’t given a proper chance to thrive due to the many predators they face. Through my volunteer endeavours, I get to experience how excited folk get when they see our native birds – and pest control through trapping gives those birds the best chance to survive and thrive.

I’m proud to contribute to this important work – plus, the trapline work I do keeps me fit and healthy, while giving me fantastic views of the coast.

If you’re thinking about volunteering with the HealthPost Nature Trust don’t hesitate – just give it a go. You can do as little or as much as you want to fit in with your schedule. The tree plantings are very relaxed and you get to spend time in nature with others.”

A huge thank you to Chris and the other dedicated volunteers who make this regeneration project possible.
