You may have known us as “Habitat Enhancement and Landcare Partnership (Waihi) Inc.” or “H.E.L.P. Waihi,” but as our organisation grows, we are proud to introduce our commercial side, now known as Waihi Native Plants.
H.E.L.P. Waihi remains a vital part of our operation, collaborating with a dedicated team of volunteers and engaging in community projects nationwide. We remain committed to restoring our whenua, embracing sustainability, and working alongside our community.
With this exciting new chapter, we are energised to move forward, extending our impact and making an even bigger difference in preserving and restoring our precious natural environment. Our commitment to Aotearoa and our whakapapa is stronger than ever.
Protect Waihi’s native wildlife by joining our community effort! You can borrow traps from our Trap Library to use on your urban or rural property, or purchase a backyard rat trap for just $10 if you’re a Waihi urban resident.
Want to get more hands-on? Volunteer to check a trap line in local reserves or assist with community engagement, funding, or trap distribution.
Every bit of help makes a difference!
From our eco-sourced plants to our environmentally friendly practices, we prioritise the long-term health and well-being of our land. We’re committed to leaving a positive impact on our ecosystems.
Our nursery is full of eco-sourced native plants. Each plant is carefully grown and nurtured to ensure optimal health and vitality.
Our team is passionate about what they do. With years of experience under their belts, they have the expertise to handle projects of all sizes and complexities.
We understand that every project is unique. That's why we take the time to listen to your goals, understand your specific needs, and tailor our services accordingly.
We actively engage with landowners, farmers, community groups, and schools to foster a sense of connection and collaboration
Over the years, we have built strong relationships with local councils, iwi, and conservation organisations. These partnerships enable us to access funding opportunities and collaborate on larger-scale projects.
Whether you’re a farmer, lifestyle block owner or a community group, we’d love to hear from you. We’ve got the tools, knowledge, and passion to transform your land, improve biodiversity and help eliminate erosion.
