Titirangi Urban Sanctuary

Titirangi Urban Sanctuary Titirangi Urban Sanctuary (TUS) is a NZ Charitable Trust. www. tus.nz
We are an environmental group working to create an urban sanctuary in Titirangi.

As neighbours we restore biodiversity through predator control, w**d removal & habitat restoration. We are a voluntary group of neighbours from the South Titirangi area. We are working together to reduce predators, reduce w**ds and restore habitat in our local area. We have a large network of volunteers who run traplines, bait stations, w**ding groups and work in our local nursery. We are a registered NZ Charity. We offer free assistance with w**d control and native re-planting in the Titirangi Peninsula. We hold monthly working bees on the last Sunday of every month. Everyone is welcome to join us. If you are keen to be involved…

We can provide:
• Free w**d control advice
• W**d bags and barrels
• Native plants for areas cleared of w**ds

In our library:
• W**d control strategy for South Titirangi
• Various booklets on w**ds and natives

Native plants now available to purchase at Refill Nation in Titirangi Village.
Grown with loving care by volunteers at our nursery, we hope that this new source of plants will be convenient for locals and encourage more native planting in the area. All proceeds from sales directly support our work.

Thank you to Grace and Jackson, the Refill Nation owners, your support has been amazing and very much appreciated.

Thank you also to Steven for making our fancy new plant stand!

This Saturday evening, a group of intrepid walkers were led by guides down through the Zig Zag track in the dark. We were Inspired to do the walk after meeting with Annette Lees and reading her wonderful book 'After Dark'.
With red light torches creating minimal lighting, the group had a magical journey through the track past titiwai / glowworms on the track and under the glorious forest canopy.
Sincere thank to Annette Lees for sharing her joy of the night with our group and to the Titirangi Urban Sanctuary team, who pulled off a very special event.
