Ngā Uruora – Kāpiti Project
Ngā Uruora – the groves of life – is a community conservation project on the Kāpiti Coast. Established in 1997, the group’s goal is to halt and reverse the decline of coastal forest on the Kāpiti – Porirua coast.
While the focus of Ngā Uruora has shifted over the years, the core activities of planting, weeding and pest control have continued. Over recent years, as other community conservation groups have formed around us, activities have become geographically constrained to a 292 hectare strip of land between Paekākāriki and Pukerua Bay.
