Help care for nature during Conservation Week. The overarching theme for this year's Conservation Week is 'Love my backyard'. It encourages people to take action in their own backyard, their community spaces and the big New Zealand backyard to protect nurture and care for it.

By getting involved in activities like trapping pests, planting natives, weeding and clean-ups and building shelters, we can all help to bring back native birds and wildlife and protect and encourage growth of our native flora and fauna in our backyards.
