Waikanae Estuary Care Group
The Waikanae Estuary Care Group commenced in 2004 through the efforts of locals who noticed that the Waikanae Estuary Scientific Reserve, which had been set aside back in 1987, had become an exotic weed wasteland, and they wanted to restore it as much as possible to its natural state.
The estuary reserve consists of an area of approximately 80 hectares – 70 ha. on the southern side of the Waikanae River and 10 ha. on the northern side. As part of the co-management philosophy for the reserve, WECG has an extended Community Agreement with the Department of Conservation and a Memorandum of Understanding with Kāpiti Coast District Council.
