Protecting the values of the Inlet
Pāuatahanui Inlet
The only remaining large estuarine wetland in the lower half of the North Island of New Zealand.
It is classified as a ‘Site of Special Wildlife Interest‘ and an area of ‘Significant Conservation Value’.
But it is at risk, mainly from human activities in both the Inlet itself and throughout the whole catchment.

We did it!
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped plant 800 plants at Motukaraka Point in the space of one and a quarter hours this afternoon – 17 August! A wonderful team effort. And the weather held off until it was all done.
Three different rush species, saltmarsh ribbonwood (Plagianthus divaricatus) and warariki/mountain flax (Phormium cookianum) were planted. When next you are in the area have a look at the planted areas in front of and to the north of the ablution block – it is looking really good.
And a big thank you to the team at PCC led by Baillie Graham.
