We have a team of active volunteers, who run trap and bait lines to eradicate predator animals, such as possums, rats and stoats, to provide a safe habitat for birds and insects. For any urgent issues, contact Roselle Gould on 027 495 1761.

If left to their own devices, our mangroves would soon choke up all of our harbour. This means they would also destroy the harbour birds feeding grounds, by suffocating shellfish, crabs and all the bio-diverse species that we have left in the harbour.

Through education, we can help to eliminate some of the silt run offs that have happened in the past.

Silt build up in the harbour is not a good thing, as it damages the likes of cockle beds, as well as making it easy for mangroves to take hold.

There are some rare birds, which have been in decline, that use our harbour as a relaxing spot to recover, after their migratory journey. We need to have an open harbour, that has suitable roost spots for them particularly at high tide, and with their food resource being bountiful.
