Winter Planting Progress Update: Thousands of Native Plants Now in the Ground!

Jun 24, 2025By Stacey Perkinson

At Manawa Landcare, we’ve been busy across the motu this winter — and the results are already showing! Our team is proud to report the successful planting of thousands of native plants across a range of project sites throughout Whangārei, Kāpiti, Horowhenua, and Wellington.

From riparian planting along stream edges to full wetland restoration zones, our mahi is helping to:

  • Restore native biodiversity
  • Improve water quality
  • Stabilize soils and reduce erosion
  • Support long-term ecological regeneration
     

📍 Current project areas include:

  • Whangārei
  • Kāpiti Coast
  • Horowhenua
  • Greater Wellington Region
     
    💪 Why This Work Matters
    Every native plant we put in the ground is a step toward a more resilient Aotearoa. Native ecosystems play a vital role in:
  • Supporting native bird and insect populations
  • Filtering and protecting waterways
  • Holding cultural and environmental significance for future generations
  • Whether it’s restoring a rural lifestyle block, improving a farm stream edge,
  • or revitalizing an urban wetland, our team is proud to be part of the solution.
