Weed Action Native Habitat Restoration Trust is privileged to work with and alongside a number of highly regarded organisations in the Heads and further afield, including:
The work we do would not be possible without the fundamental support of Northland Regional Council’s High Value Area programme. Whangarei Heads was the first High Value Area in Northland and recognises the significant natural value of our native biodiversity.
We build on this through funding opportunities and grants to achieve specific habitat restoration goals, including these current funders and projects:
Department of Conservation – Threatened Species
Foundation North – Pilot Project
Lotteries Grants Board – Second Full Sweep for Invasive Weeds at Reotahi
World Wildlife Fund – Pakikaikatu
