Donations
Help Support Local Predator Free
Donating is one of the simplest ways to help protect native wildlife in Waitākere and Swanson. Every contribution goes straight into the mahi, funding trap subsidies for households, running community events, printing guides, and helping us reach more locals with practical support.
Whether it’s $5 or $50, your donation helps us keep the momentum going. It means more tūī in the trees, more kids learning about conservation, and more neighbours working together to restore the bush we all share. This is local action, powered by local generosity.
Community powered conservation for Waitakere and Swanson.
