Community conservation in action. Help us save Coromandel kiwi
We're seeing some beautiful bowers of puawānanga, We're seeing some beautiful bowers of puawānanga, native clematis blossoming in the bush and climbing up roadside kanuka at the moment. Always a wonderful reminder of spring. The vine grows up to the canopy and opens its flowers to the sky, it uses the tree for support but doesn't smother it. Unfortunately we're also seeing the more rampant climbing jasmine escaping over the garden fence and strangling some native pōhutukawa and smothering ground cover plants. This is just a friendly reminder that if you're choosing starry blooms for your garden, consider the native clematis puawānanga, as it won't escape and cause problems for other plants. 💚 Find more info about problem plants by searching the Weedbusters website

We need you all 😍 Ngā mihi nui Save the kiwi for keeping us in action.
We're Back! Join the team for another wild kahili We're Back! Join the team for another wild kahili Ginger Bash with Driving Creek on 5 September 2026. Spring into some fabulous volunteer work this spring 🌱 Invasive ginger crowds out our native species with dense tubers that stop any seedlings from establishing. It can grow in shaded environments which makes it so important to remove to give our native plants a chance at regeneration. Meet some great people for a couple of hours mahi with treats after. See you at 9am, 5 Sept 2026 in the Driving Creek carpark, Kapanga/Coromandel town. (Please wear protective long sleeves and leggings and be prepared for a stream crossing). @drivingcreeknz
