Regional Environment Network Member Directory

The Regional Environment Network (REN) consists of more than 80 conservation, green hands, and sustainable living groups throughout the Bay of Plenty. We support these groups through facilitation of training opportunities, promotion of activities, newsletters, speakers’ events, networking opportunities and an annual regional hui.

New groups are being created often and that’s encouraging. Our aim is to keep those groups connected and whilst providing support, information, and education, we also allow opportunities to collaborate, and to share their passion and drive to care for the environment. We see the Regional Environment Network as a key tool in achieving the wider environmental, sustainable aims within the Bay of Plenty.
