“if so we guard its grandeur”. Professor EM Blaiklock
Since its formation in 1973, WRPS has acted as the conservation watchdog for the Waitakere Ranges and the West Coast. In 2008 we succeeded in getting special legislation passed to better protect this unique area. However our work continues to ensure that the The Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area Act is implemented effectively and that any changes in governance do not compromise it.
The Ranges today face unprecedented pressure from development, invasive weeds and pests, and unmanaged visitor numbers. There will always be more work to do to ensure that this 30,000 hectare west coast forest that was devastated by logging 100 years ago will in time recover its former wonder and beauty.
The Society depends entirely on voluntary donations, membership fees and fundraising. The most effective way to help protect the Waitakere Ranges is to Join the Society or make a donation or regular payment. By doing this you provide us with the resources to educate, inform and take legal action when necessary
