The success of the Sanctuary depends upon the on-going commitment of Auckland Council, which in turn will require political engagement and the visible support of ratepayers for the idea of the sanctuary. Strong community backing also helps our case in seeking support from funding bodies and in negotiating the re-introduction of new species.
So, without doing anything more, you can support the idea of the sanctuary by joining SOSSI, making a donation, or at least liking our Facebook page (click in the sidebar).
Success also requires a long-term commitment to the maintenance of a pest-free state and to restoration of diversity by replanting and weed control, so if you’d like to do more we have many voluntary work opportunities available, suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities.
But whichever way you choose to support us, your contribution will be invaluable in helping us restore what we’ve lost.
