Restore Rodney East

We are truly proud to share the Kowhaiwhai design commissioned by Restore Rodney East. This beautiful artwork not only reflects our values and commitment to environmental restoration but also celebrates the rich cultural heritage that inspires our mission. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Hokimai-Anahera Rosieur for her incredible work in bringing this design to life. We invite everyone to embrace and appreciate this artwork as a symbol of our collective efforts in nurturing and protecting our natural environment. #rodneylocalboard #aucklandbiodiversity #Ngātimanuhiri #movingforward #goodnationhood

Empowering our local environmental community groups to achieve their goals is in our DNA. This workshop aims to empower environmental community groups by providing practical tools and knowledge to enhance your capacity to secure funding. This is only open to groups in our area.

Last night, Restore Rodney East Inc (RRE) held its Annual General Meeting in Warkworth, and it was a resounding success. Attendees left feeling both well-informed and heard, as representatives from environmental groups across Rodney East gathered to ask questions and share insights. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the three member groups who presented at the AGM: Tamahunga Trappers, Whangateau HarbourCare Group, and Mahurangi West Pest. Their presentations were both informative and inspiring, highlighting the incredible work being done to protect and restore our local environment.

Exciting News! We're thrilled to announce the arrival of our brand-new community trailer! A massive thank you to the Rodney Local Board for funding this incredible resource, and to Reid Trailers for custom building it to perfection. The stunning artwork was crafted by the talented Irina Velman, and a beautiful Kowhaiwhai design by Hokimai Rosieur reflects relationships and Kaitiakitanga of our Taiao and Taonga. Special shout-out to Totally Wrapped Warkworth for their amazing vehicle graphic artistry and installation that brought it all together! This trailer is a testament to the power of community collaboration, and we can't wait to put it to good use in our ongoing conservation efforts!
