Tairua River Trail - Planting Project
The Tairua River Trail winds along the estuary, offering 6.4 km of flat, family-friendly terrain perfect for walkers, cyclists, and e-bikers. With sections passing through wetlands, mangrove forests, and farmland, this trail connects visitors with the area's rich natural beauty and history. The trail passes through the Memorial Forest, planted in memory of the Sinai-Palestine campaign of WWI, and includes features like a BMX practice track for kids.
Built by volunteers, the trail is still expanding. Its vision is to eventually loop around the upper harbour to Tairua, creating more outdoor enjoyment and conservation opportunities.
Why Plant Here:
- Contribute to restoring the Tairua River area, enhancing this scenic trail's natural beauty.
- Protect vital wetlands and native ecosystems, helping preserve the rich biodiversity that attracts locals and visitors from far and wide.
- Enhance biodiversity along this popular trail, allowing both locals and visitors to enjoy birdsong and the natural rhythms of the trail.
Your donation will directly support the planting and care of native species, ensuring the Tairua River Trail remains an inviting place where nature and community thrive together.
