Space for Nature
Space for Nature is an initiative to celebrate and support urban residents of the Bay of Plenty who are protecting biodiversity in their backyards and encourage others to do the same. The programme is facilitated by Envirohub through the Waiariki Park Region initiative, working in partnership to complement the work of existing local projects and agencies.
Tauranga City residents in the Otumoetai area of Maungawhare Place/Waiaka Reserve and surrounds, can now register for Space for Nature. This significant project focused on providing ecological corridors is a great community project to get involved in, helping our native species to to flourish and move between estuary ecosystems.
Urban and semi-rural residents throughout the Western Bay of Plenty can all register.
If you are outside these areas; please still get in touch and we will add you to our contact list when the project rolls out in your area.
We are inviting private residents, schools and education providers, businesses and community organisations to come on board.
