Te Korowai O Waiheke

Join the Journey to a Predator-Free Waiheke with Te Korowai o Waiheke

Te Korowai o Waiheke is a community-led charitable trust focused on making Waiheke Island predator-free to protect and restore its unique natural environment. The organization is working on an island-wide project with two main stages: first, the eradication of stoats, and second, comprehensive trials to control and remove rat populations. This effort aims to create a sanctuary where indigenous birds, lizards, insects, and plants can thrive. With community involvement, impact reports, and educational outreach, Te Korowai o Waiheke envisions an ecologically vibrant, predator-free Waiheke, benefiting both the environment and future generations.

The trust relies heavily on community support, from participating in rat and stoat eradication to promoting responsible pet ownership. Te Korowai o Waiheke also collaborates with experts and runs public programs, like backyard trapping, to engage locals in conservation efforts. Impact reports, available on their website, detail progress, challenges, and the effectiveness of various pilot programs.

Te Korowai o Waiheke’s commitment extends beyond eradication; it fosters a deeper connection between residents and their natural surroundings. This aligns with initiatives like the Surfdale Trial, where rat control methods were evaluated, and visits from Wero, a stoat detection dog. Each step forward brings Waiheke closer to becoming the world’s first predator-free urban island, showcasing what can be achieved when communities unite for conservation.
