2024 saw us commence our biggest restoration project yet. It involved restoring a gravel extraction pit near the Appleby River in Tasman into a bio-diverse recreational area for the public to enjoy.

Pocket Restoration Aotearoa is an exciting new web-based app, developed by FuturEcology.

The innovative platform aims to simplify environmental restoration, providing learning opportunities, planning solutions and inspiration for individuals wanting to upskill their environmental knowledge, whether they are a novice or seasoned practitioner. You don't need 10,000 hectares to make a difference, 10 square metres can be enough, and we are here to help.

Read Emma’s speech from the debut event for Pocket Restoration Aotearoa.

We have reached the milestone of two million EmGuards sold this month! Here Emma shares her thoughts about the journey from the first spark of an idea to this point.

The Ōhau Conservation Trust has planted about 3500 native plants alongside Lakes Ōhau and Middleton in the last 10 or so years. The Trust started using EmGuards in 2019, after deciding the days of plastic and wire plant protectors were over!

We were sent some photos from Vicki Smith, an artist and environmentalist who is currently working with South Westland school on a restoration project.

EmGuards™ will be on display at the North Island Nursery Trade Day at the Claudelands Arena Events Centre, Gate 4, Brooklyn Rd, Hamilton.
