The Ōtanerua Reserve Eco-Neighbourhood Group is a grassroots initiative dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the Ōtanerua Reserve.

Meet one of the many groups of passionate young gardeners, responding to the call to combat climate change and actively champion sustainable living in Ōtara.

Led by passionate locals, and supported by Pacific Vision Aotearoa, who are actively working towards creating Eco-neighbourhoods and promoting sustainable living, the programme is funded by individual local boards like Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board.

Native plants are not only loved by native birds for the food and habitats they provide, but are good for stabilising your soil and absorbing rainwater.
