This is a great way to get involved with the project!

Not everyone can head up Karioi with a backpack full of bait - but almost anyone can help pre-bag the toxins in preparation.

This work isn’t hard, but it is time-consuming -and many hands make light work of it! Bring your friends along because it’s also a great time to socialize while giving back to nature.

Let us know if you can make it - karioi.volunteer@arocha.org

Music and morning tea are provided.

Why so blue? Our littlest penguin / kororā needs your help!

With Melissa Mcluskie, the community programme manager from the New Zealand Penguin Initiative

Co-hosted with Whāingaroa Environment Centre / The New Zealand Penguin Initiative (NZPI) as their 28th Science Night

This evening kōrero is happening at the Harbour View Hotel.

Rangitahi Peninsula - this one’s for you!

You’ve probably already noticed that rats, mice and possums can be found abundantly around the peninsula. Trapping and laying rodent bait can be an effective way of controlling invasive pests around your home. By all doing our bit, Rangitahi can be pest-free!

We’re here to help but we can’t do this without you. 

Join us to find out more!

A great day out for new or existing volunteers!

We’d love to get a hand (or 20 of them!) to help clear some of our existing lines network.

This is a fun day out, with minimal gear to carry (or at least no toxins weighing you down!) - a walk in the park! Ok, this ‘park’ still consists of uneven and at times steep terrain, but an easier day than our popular bait deploy days!

This event is for volunteers only. Let’s catch up - nibbles and deserts are on us.

❤️ This a special event for our volunteers. ❤️

Please note the new date!

Limited spots available, RSVP is required through form herein.

Come and experience for yourself the New Zealand environment the way it used to be – an ancient, vibrant forest alive with native wildlife including many of New Zealand’s rarest and most endangered wildlife. Step through the pest-proof gate into another world where ancient New Zealand forest towers majestically above well-maintained walking tracks and the air is filled with birdsong.

On Thursday, June 20th we will have the opportunity to partake in the Ancient Forest Guided Walk and learn about why this conservation project is so special.

An evening kōrero about Taiea te Taiao: Maungatautari to Pirongia Ecological Corridor, co-hosted with Whāingaroa Environment Centre / Te Pokapū Taiao o Whāingaroa as their 27th Science Night.

Bexie is passionate about biodiversity and enhancing environmental and personal wellness and also has over 12 years of experience with the Karioi Project both as a Coordinator and a volunteer.

There are a variety of hikes and bush walks around this eco-sanctuary, and on Saturday 18 May, we will have the opportunity to partake in the Secrets of the Tautari Wetland Guided Walk and learn about why this conservation project is so special.

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, we will gather above Ngāranui and with luck on our side, we’ll observe the ōi as they return to land for their breeding season.

Help us empty the bait stations across the wide network on Karioi. A one day blitz!

Dr Janelle Ward is the biodiversity team leader at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari, a wildlife vet, with interests in species translocations, wild bird rehabilitation, avian medicine, wildlife health and species conservation.

An evening for Karioi Project volunteers and Backyard Hub trappers. RSVP necessary.

The Karioi Project is excited to be teaming up with “Wander Women” as their donation partner!

With aligned values and the same adventurous spirit, we are stoked to have been chosen as the donation partner. With approximately 350-500 competitors coming from near and far it will be a super fun and exciting day!

This is an important fundraiser for the project in exchange for providing volunteer support for the race. And, this is where you come in!

This is a great way to spend a morning, being social and helpful all at once. We’d love to see you then.

His 2020 visit was so well received that we’ve asked Dr Oliver McLeod to return for another look into what makes Karioi special, from a geological point of view.

An evening for Karioi Project volunteers and Backyard Hub trappers. RSVP necessary.

Geoff Reid and Pete Russell, two passionate, powerful speakers are coming to Raglan to help us understand the threats to our biodiversity springing from our backyards and roadsides and seriously threatening our wild reserves, Karioi, the Ruapuke dunes and beyond.

The Karioi Project is happy to support Whāingaroa Weedbusters, Friends of Kaitoke Walkway & Whāingaroa Environment Centre / Te Pokapū Taiao o Whāingaroa with this upcoming science night!
