Waikanae, Kāpiti Coast — Ngā Manu Nature Reserve and Manaaki Kāpiti have collaborated to ensure whānau/family in the rohe can enjoy Ngā Manu and Kāpiti Coast’s nature and wildlife experiences. The campaign ‘Share the love of Nature’ run by Ngā Manu encouraged locals who wish to give back to the community, to donate the value of a day pass. The donations support the continuation of conservation work and provided Ngā Manu a way to provide Manaaki Kāpiti the passes to gift to whānau/family who would enjoy a day connecting back with nature in the reserve.
