Habitat Hobsonville

We are a community-based group of volunteers focused on restoring and enhancing the natural habitat around Hobsonville.

The focus of the group includes;

trapping predators such as rats, stoats and possums
removing noxious plants such as privet, tobacco weed and woolly nightshade
planting, restoring and regenerating native habitats
measuring the impact of our actions

We are working with and are supported by Auckland Council, Upper Harbour Local Board, Kaipatiki Project and the Hobsonville Point Residents Society.

Come and meet us at our next weeding event!

What We Do

01.

Trapping

Our trapping team regularly run trapping pulses aimed at eliminated targeted pest species. This helps protect our environment and encourages native wildlife to make Hobsonville their home,

02.

Weeding

Invasive plants require frequent management to promote the growth of native flora. Doing so helps create the best possible habitat for our indigenous animals.

03.

Community Engagement

At our regular community events, we share knowledge on our environment and help locals get involved. By working together, we can restore and enhance Hobsonville’s natural environment for everyone to enjoy.

Our History

We have operated within Hobsonville over the last couple of years with the vision of creating a sustainable environment for everyone to enjoy.
