Kauri are woven into the landscape of Te Tara-o-te-Ika a Māui (the Coromandel Peninsula) standing as living links between the past and present.

Welcome to the world of e-waste: anything with a plug or battery that’s no longer wanted, from laptops and TVs to chargers and toothbrushes.

Backyard bird feeding is an enjoyable hobby that many Kiwis enjoy. Previous studies (Forest and Bird) have found around half of NZ households provide food for garden birds. It also showed that bread, seeds, and kitchen waste are the most common foods used. Unfortunately, such practice is harmful because it attracts introduced grain-eating species, such as starlings, doves and mynas, that outnumber native species.

Wāhi Tukurua has launched Mercury Bay’s first-ever resource recovery centre at 239 South Highway, Whitianga – right next to the Refuse Transfer Station!

Conservation Week runs from 1 to 7 September 2025. It’s a great opportunity to do something good for nature, and show others how they can too.
