Welcome to The Kaipatiki Project 
and Environment Centre

We are a community based organisation providing environmental education and nature restoration services located on the North Shore, Auckland.

We offer a wide range of environmental talks, workshops and support for the public, and education programmes for schools and groups. Call us to request a speaker for your club, event or group. We also organise volunteer days for groups and companies - come and get your hands dirty planting trees or weeding  - all materials, training and fun provided.

Our resources are available to the general public, schools and community groups on a number of topics such as waste minimisation, storm water, pollution, mangroves, pests and predators, flora and fauna, noxious weeds and plant propagation. 

Get involved!
As a community based organisation, we rely on volunteers and members (only $10 per year: membership).
Come along to an Eskdale Reserve Community Planting Day to learn about native trees, shrubs and birds whilst having fun and exercise in beautiful forest surroundings.
See the volunteers page for more information on how you can help out - every skill and effort helps.
