There are hundreds of conservation groups working with DOC, or working independently around the country – from restoring forests, coasts and wildlife to managing huts, tracks and historic places.
Many of these groups have large-scale restoration and biodiversity recovery as their aims, while others focus on a particular endangered species.
Nature Space is also great way to find groups, individuals and landowners undertaking ecological restoration in New Zealand.
