Taranaki Nature Cleanups

Taranaki Nature Cleanups is a community-driven initiative addressing waste issues in Taranaki. We are building a social enterprise that runs clean-ups for volunteers in conjunction with organisations and businesses. Our mission is to empower local groups and hapū, raise awareness about the environmental impact of waste, and build a stronger, more connected community.

What are our key objectives?

Empowering the local community: not only leading cleanups but also supporting local groups and hapū to run their own events
Discussing and educating about waste issues in Aotearoa New Zealand: including impact of littering, how to reduce waste, recycling...
Encouraging people and businesses to take ownership of the protection of their local taiao (environment)
Bringing people together and building connections in the community
Inviting people to stay active while protecting our environment and giving back to their community
Exploring different parts of Taranaki
