COMMUNITY GROUPS
Community groups in Tāmaki Makaurau play a vital role in fostering local resilience and environmental stewardship. Through grassroots initiatives, they champion eco-friendly practices, promote cultural sustainability, and strengthen community bonds. Auckland Council supports these efforts by providing funding for projects through the Auckland Climate Grant. We also amplify their impact by sharing success stories, inspiring others to join the movement toward a greener future. These groups exemplify the power of community-driven change in preserving Auckland's natural beauty and cultural heritage for future generations.
