nau mai, haere mai

We are an organisation of mainly volunteers that are working to restore, educate and advocate for our unique dryland plant species of Central Otago and the special creatures that depend upon them.

WHAT IS COMING UP

Nursery sessions are breaking for winter

IT IS GETTING COLDER AND THINGS ARE SLOWING DOWN IN THE  NURSERY SO IT'S TIME TO HAVE A WELL DESERVED BREAK.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR MAHI OVER THE LAST YEAR. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK IN AUGUST

Contact nursery@haehaeata.org.nz for an appointment to visit over this time

thank you very much

Over 135 volunteers from our community have been involved in this project at the Half Mile Reserve. From plant growing, hole digging, organising, catering and being there on the day. We have also had support from our business community. We could not have done this without your support and enthusiasm.

THANKS AGAIN AND SEE YOU AT THE NEXT PLANTING (which is coming soon but date not yet finalised)

haehaeata gift cards 


Want to support a planting but can't be there yourself?


We have just developed a gifting system where you can buy a plant for a special someone in your life or to support a local native planting project that uses our eco sourced plants. These plants will be planted at the next planting date after your order by a community group. These plantings are on public land so can be visited any time.


By completing the form and making payment we will email out a gift card to your recipient outlining what project is being supported and how many trees have been gifted. 


Please feel free to tell anyone and everyone about this initiative and help improve Central Otago's biodiversity and support local community groups.

About us

Find out about us, our area and why we are doing what we are doing.

Our nursery

We are eco sourcing seed from our dryland native species and growing them on. Find out more.

Get involved

Central Otago has very little in natural biodiversity areas.  There are lots of ways you could help us turn this around.

What we are up to

Here is the latest on what we are up to. Find out more about our projects and community collaborations.

Places to go

Information and photos to help you discover our 'world of difference.'

A 'mostly' monthly email with local plant profile, upcoming events and what we have been doing amongst other things. 






We rely on generous donations from the public, sponsorship and grants to ensure our nursery can eco source and propagate native plants along with providing a hub for community involvement and learning. The projects we are involved in will ultimately create areas of native bush providing homes for our native wildlife.

Would you or your business like to 'give back' and support work to improve our environment and natural heritage? Become a friend!

A big thank you to this year's supporters
