Most locals want to protect freshwater, forests, and communities long-term, not be left with a legacy of toxic waste.

Have you ever wondered about a plant, animal or insect you’ve seen in nature? Your observations can make a valuable contribution to scientific research and conservation.
With a passion for the natural world and a background in environmental and outdoor education, DOC Community Ranger, Maree Limpus, has witnessed the positive impact nature can have on people and their well-being.
Wink is a one-eyed Conservation Dog from Invercargill with an important job: detecting pests and sniffing out Spartina grass.
His well-tuned nose has brought him up all the way up to Hauraki and Coromandel.
They say Coromandel is good for the soul and I reckon the lovely Rapaura Watergardens at Tapu are good for the soul and the heart. With 64 acres (about 26 hectares) of native bush, lush gardens and delightful waterfalls, it’s a welcoming haven for those needing rest or some space and time with nature.
