🛠️ National Volunteer Week | Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu 💚
At the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary, over 300 volunteers generously give their time, energy, and skills to protect this special place. From maintenance and monitoring to guiding and weeding, our volunteers are the heartbeat of the Sanctuary — and this week, we’re celebrating them all.
Pictured here is one of our dedicated groups: the Assets Team. These legends show up rain or shine, twice a week, to take on the heavy lifting — digging, fixing, and maintaining the infrastructure that keeps everything running smoothly.
After the recent flood, a section of the Loop Track — our most accessible and well-loved 45-minute walking route — was damaged by a slip. With guidance from an engineer and working to pre-approved plans, the team has been carefully repairing and altering the existing track, reinforcing the hillside, and making the path safe again for future visitors.
It’s tough mahi, but they tackle it with skill, humour, and heart. And they’re just one part of the incredible volunteer community that powers the Sanctuary.
To every one of our volunteers — thank you. You are the beating heart of the Sanctuary community!
