We need your help
Your photos can become part of the greater good.
All you need to do is download the iNaturalist app and take photos of any plant, animal, insect and fungi you see in your backyard and/or local reserve.
It is so easy.
Why not help us out today.
Your photos will become part of the 'Te Whau River Biodiversity Survey 2020'. The results from the survey will assist us to:
- establish what species are living in our neighbourhood.
- enable us to determine the species abundance, species richness and the overall biodiversity.
- we will be able to compared the data with other years to establish if there are more or less native species living around us.
- and establish if the neighbourhood is a suitable habitat for native species to roam
Please help us today.
If you would like instructions on how to set up the app or questions about the survey please contact Justine on justine@whauriver.org.nz or Mobile: 021627864 or 09 627-3372

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
