Friends of Mangemangeroa are an environmentally minded group who work with the Auckland Council to maintain and restore the coastal forest along the Mangemangeroa Estuary. Restoration work has seen the bush edge extended through pioneer species planting and more recently the growing of eco-sourced seedlings for inplanting of canopy trees.
In addition the Group is active in promoting and developing an ecological education centre.
Our activities include:
- Organizing planting days, using seeds sourced from within the Reserves
- Removal of weeds
- Assisting with pest control, including rats and possum, which continue to damage bird and plant life
- Supporting schools interested in educating students on local flora and fauna
- Working with Council to prioritize maintenance requirements and remediation of slip damage.
If you would like to become a member of the “friends” and help support us our annual subscription is $10 single or $15 for a family. As we are a registered charity any donations over $5.00 can claimed as a tax rebate.
