Volunteer to restore nature

Whether you are looking to join a one-off community planting day or become regular volunteer, volunteering with Nature in the City means you’ll help to shape a greener city for future generations. It is also a great way to meet new, like-minded people, and have fun while giving back to your community.

Our goal is to restore Hamilton's native vegetation cover from less than 2% to 10% by 2050. That's hundreds of thousands of plants across more than 1000 hectares to be restored. These are exciting and bold plans, and we'll need your help to bring them to life. Let's protect and nurture our taonga (treasures) together.

See where restoration is happening near you.

We can connect you with community groups in your neighbourhood doing restoration work, or with a Council community restoration event. Restoration work can include everything from planting trees, to weeding, preparing land and mulching.
