Takatu Peninsula is a place where native birds flourish and predator mammals and invasive weeds are controlled
Our Mission
Empowering the Takatu Peninsula’s biodiversity, Takatu LandCare is committed to fortifying the Tawharanui Open Sanctuary’s buffer zone while extending our reach across the entire peninsula. Through collaborative efforts with landowners, residents, and conservation groups, we restore natural habitats, control predators, and educate to foster coexistence and appreciation for our environment, creating a secure and vibrant haven where native wildlife thrives.
