Working together to help nature thrive in Northland
Tiakina Te Taitokerau supports Northland communities to take action for nature.
Coordinated by the Northland Regional Council in collaboration with local communities and partners, the programme supports projects and volunteers to tackle pest plants and animals, protect native species, and create thriving backyards and neighbourhoods.
By working together – communities, councils, and partners – we make it easier for people to get involved, share resources, and achieve real biodiversity outcomes across Taitokerau.
