Example of an ecological halo (buffer zone).

Despite highly urbanised, Takapuna North still hosts important remnant ecosystems that are important habitats for our native wildlife. Our ecological halos are centred around these remnant ecosystems.
We are currently focusing on establishing five halos:
(1) Castor Bay Halo
(2) Milford Halo
(3) Smiths Bush East Halo
(4) Patuone Halo
(5) Pupukemoana Halo
The map on the left shows the geographic locations of the remnant ecosystems and our halos. Most halos are staged so as to allow us with resource allocation in the core areas and to expand into the surrounding areas in the coming years.

This is the hub for volunteer environmental restoration groups in Takapuna North. We actively engage in tree planting, predator control, pest plant control, water quality, and community engagement.
