Projects & Activities

Wairarapa Moana is rich in cultural, historical and ecological values. The wetland complex has ecological values of national and international significance, such as supporting endangered local and migratory bird species. Some of these values are under threat and this is the foundation for the submission of an Application-for-Ramsar-status.pdf  (PDF, 51 pages, 1768 KB).

Several projects are underway to protect and enhance the Wairarapa Moana environment. Current restoration projects are: 

• Wairio Wetlands
• Onoke Spit
• Lake Ferry and Onoke Lagoon
• Lake Domain Reserve
• Donald's Creek

Community planting at Lake Domain
