Nga Uruora - Kapiti Project
Nga Uruora - Kapiti Project Charitable Trust is a community based conservation project with a big work program and an even bigger vision. Set up in 1997 to reverse the drastic decline of coastal forest, we’re aiming to create a continuous ribbon of bird-safe native forest running from Porirua through to Waikanae.
