The Wellington region spans from the south coast to Otaki, Mt Bruce and Castlepoint. The world's "coolest little capital" is surrounded by an amazing "green-belt" natural environment.
We love exploring Wellington's pest-free islands, rugged southern coastline and cycling the vines in Martinborough.
Thanks to the mahi of various groups, Wellington has seen the decline of animal pests over recent years. Through these efforts we now can enjoy the return of native birdsong in our suburban gardens. We can spot Tuataras sunbathing and listen to Korimako (Bellbirds) sing at ZEALANDIA Te Māra a Tāne.
We can all help to protect Wellington's natural environment, way of life and industries from biosecurity risks.
