He Ara Mahi

The work we do in the Raukūmara is about more than conservation. It is about protecting a living legacy. It is about restoring the health of our ngahere, safeguarding our taonga species, the connection between our people and Raukūmara, and ensuring our mokopuna can experience the beauty and abundance of this special ngahere.

As Raukūmara Pae Maunga continues to grow and evolve, we are seeking passionate people to help lead this kaupapa into the future.
