Project Parore is the trading name for Uretara Estuary Managers Incorporated, a Katikati-based society formed in 2004 to help clean up the rivers and streams running into the Uretara Estuary and bring back the native birds.
Project Parore has since expanded its mission to enhance environmental stewardship, protect streams and restore biodiversity across all river catchments of north of the Wairoa river, to Waihi Beach.
Objectives
Partnering with our community and our local councils to restore, enhance, and protect our natural environment - reconnecting ecosystems and people. To achieve this, we focus on:
How to Help
We have a skilled, professional team available for mitigation and restoration works, including native planting projects and pest plant control.
Landowners and residents both rural and urban can also get involved – volunteer to help with planting, trapping pests or removing weed species, citizen science that monitors biodiversity and water quality, or get in touch to discuss how the project could support restoration and environmental protection work on your property or in your local catchment community.
Within Katikati itself, we support the Renaturing Katikati volunteers who are working on river banks and reserves around the town, and in our nursery at 48 Church Street.
