Visitor Guide - Caring for Wai Moana

 Caring for Wairarapa Moana

Help protect this special environment so that native plants and animals can thrive.

• Check the local “Fire Season” status before lighting camp fires www.wrfd.org.nz
• Control and extinguish fires responsibly to protect habitats
• Plan your activities to avoid disturbing birds during the spring breeding season
• Keep all vehicles on formed tracks – some native birds nest on the beach
• Keep dogs on a lead – they can frighten birds off their nests
• Leave traps undisturbed – they catch pest animals that kill native birds
• Join a Wairarapa Moana community volunteer group - see Projects and Activities on this website.

Caring for you

• Be water safety smart - waves and water levels can rise up to a metre
• Take extra layers of clothing to keep warm and dry - parts of Wairarapa Moana are remote and exposed to strong winds
• Mobile reception is variable  - plan communication before you leave
