We are looking volunteers to help plant native trees along Mohua waterways and we need you to sign up now so we can get organised.

It's hands-in-the-dirt, good-for-the-whenua work — and a great way to connect with your community while making a real difference for our streams and wildlife.

👉 Sign up here: https://forms.gle/HrUtXEzhm7roygJv6

Every pair of hands counts. Share this with anyone who loves Golden Bay and wants to help restore it.

Kia ora Mohua 🌿

We’re starting work on the 2026 Mohua Sustainability Report and beginning to gather together the stories, projects and initiatives helping make good things happen across our region.

We’ve already reached out to everyone featured in the 2024 report, but we know new projects and community efforts are always emerging.

If there’s a group, organisation, business or initiative doing meaningful work around Mohua that isn’t already in the 2024 report, feel free to tag them below or send us a message with their contact details.

Also, if you never saw the 2024 report when it came out, it’s well worth a look. It’s a pretty inspiring snapshot of the amount of care, creativity and collaborative action happening within our community: https://www.mohua2042.co.nz/strategyandreports.html

We still have loads of free filled sandbags available for collection at Takaka Rec Park. Please feel free to collect as many as you need for you and your whānau. A trailer is a good idea if your taking more than several. The 'stash' is in big white bags located in the field on the left as you enter the Rec Park. Pick up will be available until the end of the week. First come, first serve. Message me if you need more details.
