Run for a cleaner coastline
07 March 2021
Waterbourne Festival encourages people to get active on the land, on the water, or both. They believe in sustainable environments and sustainable bodies. This fun run or walk is a chance to not just look after our country but to do something good for your own health. Being active can be hard but the fun run is a safe zone for people of all abilities to give back to their bodies. We want to help you to achieve new goals because nature and exercise just go hand and hand. Kaipātiki Project is proud to be part of this run and will receive $5 from every ticket thanks to Waterbourne Festival and Blue Carbon Project! Have fun!

Movember meets Mulch
Kaipātiki Project has teamed up with Nick Molcsan, a young Project Manager with a vision, for an unusual mission connecting Movember with Mulch!
As an environmental organisation, Kaipātiki Project can provide as much mulch as Nick and his mates can lift, but is always looking for volunteers to help it spread...
