Registrations are open for Hands On Ecology, and this series fills up fast.

Ten workshops. Various Fridays from 18 September 2026, 9:30am–12:30pm. Each session takes place at various local reserves, facilitated by Te Taiao Practitioner Charmaine Bailie.

The focus: practical restoration skills and ecological understanding through a te ao Māori lens, grounded in mātauranga Māori.

It's designed for community restoration groups and individuals, whether you're tending a backyard or helping restore a public reserve.

If you've been meaning to deepen your knowledge of te taiao and what restoration actually involves, this is where to start.

Thanks to Auckland Council for supporting these workshops!

We planted litter on the street to see who would stop. Dozens of people walked right past it... until this absolute legend stepped up. 🥹👇

The moment he picked it up, the crowd went wild! 🎉

When we asked him why he did it, his answer was simple: "Well, everyone should do it right? You shouldn't leave litter lying around."

He’s exactly right. It takes just one person to change the environment and set the standard for everyone else. Thank you for being a true Litter Legend! 🌟

Your streets are our streets. Let’s look after them together. 🤝

50 years ago, Aotearoa launched "Be a Tidy Kiwi" 🚮🥝 Yet today, sadly, our litter problem is actually getting worse.

Did you know that the single strongest driver of more litter... is simply seeing litter already there? It creates a visual permission slip for others to do the same.

But there’s a powerful flip side: when you pick it up, you stop that cycle in its tracks and discourage future littering before it even starts.

That’s exactly why we headed out to celebrate our local Litter Legends! 🌟 Check out these incredible people working hard to break the cycle and keep our communities clean, beautiful, and looked after.

Want to be a legend too? Grab a bag next time you’re out, change the visual environment, and help us turn the tide on litter.
