We are always looking for volunteers to help with various jobs from planting preparation, planning, planting, weeding to help keeping this website up to date!
WICKED WEEDERS
Every Tuesday the Wicked Weeders meet and revisit planting sites giving them the TLC they need to survive and thrive. It’s an awesome group who get out and muck in every week.
Or Take Control of Your Own Backyard!
WHAT TO PLANT
We’ve developed a comprehensive list of recommended plants for you to plant in your own backyard. Natives and some exotics, but all plants that will thrive in our local region and that will help us on our mission to bring back the birds!
BIRDLIFE
So it’s about the birds…what can you expect to see in your own backyard? This list of birds includes those that are common in our region as well as ones that you are less common but you might be one of the lucky ones and spot one!
PEST CONTROL
Our partner organisation Predator Free Taupo is all over this. It’s a coordinated community based trapping program that will enhance the environment so our birds can thrive. The aim is to have every household in the greater Taupo area trapping!
