Join a conservation organisation

Volunteers replanting a riparian strip by a stream, New Zealand

Join a local stream care group to protect your local waterways. There are lots of groups that are involved in local conservation – it’s an excellent way to give back, keep fit and care for your local environment. Check out the Department of Conservation website for conservation groups in your area or the NZ Landcare Trust for local care groups.
