Since 2002, Sustainable Wairarapa has continuously pursued four quite distinct, complementary kinds of environmental activism.
Restoration projects
Nature projects, such as planting days and stream clean-ups.
Scientific research
Professional and citizen science research, from piloting sustainable farming techniques to monitoring Wairarapa’s threatened species.
Campaigns
Strategic and informed lobbying campaigns at every level of government, on issues from freshwater to wastewater to climate change.
Public presentations
Presentations by experts on topics relating to sustainability.
With this range of activities available to them, our members participate in the kind of activism that personally suits them; we are tree planters, lizard counters, RMA nerds, and public event organisers. We enjoy good synergies.
Contact
