What are we working on?

Pupuke Birdsong Project is a community-led initiative, working to eradicate pests, help improve water quality and restore our local native habitats in the Northern suburbs of the Devonport- Takapuna Local Board area.
Our work/mahi covers a range of areas including ecological restoration though – Predator and Pest Plant Control, and providing educational resources through our engagement with volunteers and the wider community.

Ecological halos are a buffer zone surrounding an area with significant ecological values. We are working with the community in these halos to manage pest animals and pest plants and restore the natural environment, protecting local biodiversity
Predator and pest control is a vital aspect of conservation in Aotearoa, home to a diverse array of native species. These species are under threat from introduced pests and predators, such as rats, stoats, and possums, which can wreak havoc on native ecosystems. We help the community to manage pests and predators through trapping, baiting and weed removal.
Volunteering enables all of our community to work together on our shared goals to enhance our environment. Volunteering opportunities can be flexible and it is a great way to get close to nature, and know you are making a worthwhile contribution to the environment. Volunteer activities range from bush restoration, weeding and trapping to tree planting and rubbish removal.

Flood resilience is essential in preparing our communities to handle extreme weather events like those we saw last year and minimise their impact on our communities. By understanding flood risks, being proactive, and improving safety, we can protect our environment and reduce damage to homes and properties.

On Auckland’s North Shore, three environmental organisations – Pupuke Birdsong Project, Pest Free Kaipātiki, and Kaipātiki Project – are working together, proudly supported by Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters. Our collective mission is to empower communities to care for our local streams, ensuring they remain clean, healthy, and flood-resilient.
